Do any of you know of any good quotes about pumpkins for us to do for copywork? Our unit this week is pumpkins and I'm having a hard time finding anything. It would need to be somewhat short as we are just usually doing 1 sentence for copywork most of the time.

thanks!

It's a longer poem, but you could use a line from "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin" - James Whitcomb Riley.

Or how about:
Peter Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife but couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very well.
