Decaying pumpkins on the porch, forlorn  
Reminders of the night that's now long past  
When ghosts and goblins walked the streets, reborn  
And children laughed, their candy bags amassed

But now, the gourds are soft and leaking goo  
Their orange hues now dull and gray with mold  
A sight most uninviting, it is true  
A symbol of the end, a story told

Yet still, the Christmas lights are burning bright  
A garish clash of seasons, red and green  
A tree that's shedding needles, left in sight  
A decoration that should not be seen

So let us take the hint from nature's course  
And put away the old, and make way for new discourse.
