Here’s a fun entry that will take you back to childhood!
Smiling Pumpkin
by Carole Mertz
My Papa he poked out the eyes, 
And Mama the smile very wide.
When I got the handle
I dropped in the candle,
And carved a triangular nose
Thank you, Carole, for bringing us a smile!

I appreciate being appreciated, John. Thanks! But I wish I had made the last word schnozz (as in schnazola) to rhymn a slight bit more closely with eyes. (Smile) Thanks to Ladyrane, too!
