Goodbye Pumpkin Patch

Posted by Daddy Forever on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 : : 16 comments

At the great pumpkin patch
There was a boat kids wanted to catch
boat ride to the pumpkin patch

And there was a dragon in the lake
It was clearly not a fake
dragon in the lake

There were bales of hay
And even a little maze
bales of hay, tons of fun

And there were pumpkins everywhere
Kids moved them here and there
pumpkin patch

There was no rain
So we rode the train
train ride back

It was such a nice day
But we couldn’t stay
lakeview pumpkin patch

Goodbye nice day, we wish we could stay
Goodbye train and keep away rain
Goodbye pumpkins everywhere, we moved you here and there
Goodbye bales of hay and little maze
Goodbye dragon in the lake, we know you are not a fake
Goodbye boat we all wanted to catch
Goodbye great pumpkin patch

Looks like your kids had fun
In the sun
On a bright October day

They carried pumpkins
And went a-dunkin?
Into the bales of hay

The train ride was nice
I’m sure it did not suffice
Cos they couldn?t stay

Now daddyforever has a task
And indeed he must
Carve out a pumpkin face today

Yich, so you are a poet and a cook. You even found a word that rhymes with pumpkin.

Mama Duck, my comment to you seems to be missing (did I forget to click the submit button?) so here it is again:

Yes, you should take the little duck. He’ll have a blast trying to pickup the big pumpkins. I didn’t even know Florida has pumpkin patches - just palm trees!

[...] Ken from Portland, Oregon just emailed me a picture of his son with a pumpkin. He told his kids they could have any pumpkin as long as they could carry it. Well, Ken’s son couldn’t pick up the one he wanted so you see him here rolling it. Great picture and thanks Ken for sending it to me. You can see more pictures from his pumpkin patch trip, which was inspired by Goodnight Moon, at his blog Daddy Forever. [...]

That’s funny that you guys went to the same pumpkin patch. Wasn’t that a fun one?

It was fun. It was my first time there and I was totally unprepare for the shark and dragon. Barely got the dragon with my camera.

I went to this pumpkim patch when I first moved to Portland with my son and we had a great time. I want to go back but I don’t remember what it is called or where it is. Can you please help me?
