henry had a pumpkin
he grew it in the yard
his grandma baked it in a pie
and henry took it hard
sometimes he thought the pumpkin
had escaped to santa fe
and he would hitchhike to new orleans
and meet up with it someday
grandma was a moonbeam
and grandpa was a snail
and they got along together
like jonah and the whale
elvis escaped to vegas
with davy crockett on his trail
the postman came at midnight
but did not leave any mail
you can hear a lonesome whistle
sometimes late at night
it’s an elephant and a grasshoper
staying out of sight
henry met the roman empire
behind the garden wall
they had a long conversation
about the meaning of it all
