munday on monday: life insurance for pumpkins (the fine print)

No coverage shall be applied

To gourds that wind up on their side

And smashed upon the nearest street.

While also void: The trick-or-treat

And any cuts or carvings made

In pumpkins on a porch displayed.

If weather turns to cold and frost

Such coverage is also lost.

Your policy (if worse comes worst)

Will lapse upon November First.

But other than these things expected,

You’re now insured and quite protected!
