Reposing 'neath some spreading trees	A
A populistic bumpkin	B
Amused himself by offering these	A
Reflections on a pumpkin	B
I would not if the choice were mine	C
Grow things like that upon a vine	C
For how imposing it would be	D
If pumpkins grew upon a tree	D
	-
Like other populists you'll note	E
Of views enthusiastic	F
He'd learned by heart and said by rote	E
A creed iconoclastic	F
And in his dim uncertain sight	G
Whatever wasn't must be right	G
From which it follows he had strong	H
Convictions that what was was wrong	H
	-
As thus he sat beneath an oak	I
An acorn fell abruptly	D
And smote his nose whereat he spoke	I
Of acorns most corruptly	D
Great Scott he cried The Dickens too	J
And other authors whom he knew	J
And having duly mentioned those	K
He expeditiously arose	K
	-
Then though with pain he nearly swooned	L
He bathed his organ nasal	M
With arnica and soothed the wound	N
With extract of witch hazel	M
And surely we may well excuse	O
The victim if he changed his views	P
If pumpkins fell from trees like that	Q
He murmured Where would I be at	Q
	-
Of course it's wholly clear to you	J
That when these words he uttered	R
He proved conclusively he knew	J
Which side his bread was buttered	R
And if this point you have not missed	S
You'll learn to love this populist	T
The only one of all his kind	U
With sense enough to change his mind	U
	-
THE MORAL In the early spring	V
A pumpkin tree would be a thing	V
Most gratifying to us all	W
But how about the early fall	W
