Yellow pumpkin – the grand one -
grows and grows - into the sun.
It grows nonstop. On and on.
Endlessly. From dawn to dawn.
Jealous neighbour of this pumpkin
said laudly and very spunky:
„I am looking just at you
and I have to say the truth.
Listen up. I tell you what.
Simply speaking, you are squat.
Is your dialy diet right?
You eat perhaps chops at night.
So … your size must be large. Well
maybe even XXL!”
- and the neighbour also said -
„Try to follow a courgette
It’s elegant, fine and slim.
And the squash is also trim.
Only you are so, so fat.
It is really, really bad.
If you will not become slim
you won’t see the haloween.”
Furious, angry pumpkin said:
„Your reflections make me mad!
Shut your mouth! Get off my back !
Take a hike! Go fry an egg!
And regarding to the size,
I will give you this advice:
Watermelon, my dear sneerer,
look at yourself ... in the mirror.”
