Pumpkin Town
Fun for the whole family!
I got some troubles, but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'Cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
Sugar Town, Nancy Sinatra
My wife found the brochure and coupons.
“Fun for the whole family!” the flyer said. “An unforgettable experience!” it promised confidently.
Well, it was right about the last part.
I had reservations. Something seemed off to me. My wife wouldn’t hear of it. We’d been in this town three years, and had yet to find somewhere that met with her approval. As far as she was concerned, Pumpkin Town was going to be pumpkin perfection.
Well, she was right about the last part.
The pumpkins needed our bodies to unlock their true potential. Humans make the best jack-o’-lanterns, after all.
