A Pumpkin Named Jack

by Anne Engelen

There once was a pumpkin named Jack

Who came to Belgium, then wouldn’t go back

The chocolates and sweets

Were the tricks and the treats

He loved it and thought “What the heck”

Author's Note: Just had to add a little Belgian touch! Halloween seems to become more and more popular in Belgium. Not even four years ago hardly anyone had notice of Halloween, except from what was showed in American movies.

So, how is the pumpkin market in Belgium? You might be able to carve your place in Belgium's history as the Jack-o-Lantern Queen! Great poem, Anne.

Fun limerick Annie. Halloween is getting to be a larger event here also, with orange lights on the houses and front yard displays of all kinds. We have halloween stores all over the place. After halloween they close up....Charlie
