On a Cold Autumn Night

I was born under the leaf's of my family vine. Sleeping by day and playing at night. As our family grew larger,we became to big to fit under the large leaves. The days were shorter, and the nights longer.
I woke one evening to find my family gone....where were they, why did they leave me here. I searched everywhere in the patch, they were no where to be found. I started looking down the streets of our town, where had they gone? When the morning sun began to rise, I hid under a pile of leaf's that had fallen from a big old tree. I tried to sleep but could not rest, where was the Pumpkin Patch family? Where had they gone.
So on a cold Autumn night you will see me going house to house searching for the Patch families. To my sad heart all I have found is cut up Pumpkins with fire in their bellies. If you see me, don't be afraid, I am just a lonely Pumpkin from the patch looking, searching for the ones I love.....
