With some pumpkin spice
pumped up was her halloween
reading ghoulish puns

Like group of bobbleheads
came men with vanilla sticks
wooing for her fair hand—
yet with eyes for none but one
she picked the outstanding,
preferring chocolate ice-cream
Olympian pole vaulter
who leapt to heights
with passion as impetus
flopped back sprawling
mewling and crawling
as expectations bore down
