🎃 A Peek Inside the Story
Way out back, 'neath a tall, fall tree…
a wobbly little pumpkin was as wobbly as can be.
He wobbled by an acorn,
and he wobbled by a leaf.
He wobbled near a squirrel…
that did a whirl in disbelief! (WEEEE!)
He wobbled on an apple
and he wobbled up some hay.
He wobbled by a sunflower
and said, "Oh HAPPY DAY!"
