The Authorized Biography of Jack O. Lantern

I was born in a pumpkin patch in central southern Pennsylvania. My brothers and sisters and I are orphans, but a very friendly farmer found us when we were small and took very good care of us. I educated myself by listening to others and the ability to read just came to me naturally. Once I reached a defined mature age I was picked right from my home and shipped off to a Wal-Mart in the Morgantown area. One evening a few weeks ago, a lovley couple decided to take me home with them, I was just a pumpkin without a face, but they saw more to me than that. They gave me a face, a mighty handsome one at that, I suppose I could use some dental work, but I think my one snaggle tooth is rather charming. Today I have come to enjoy my new home, when Lee is gone I have the house to myself. I have been reading the books in the living room, I am growing a fondness for classic rock and I have become good friends with the concrete bulldog and the antique Owl salt and pepper shakers.
I enjoy the outdoors, traveling and listening to music. Of course I love halloween and scary movies ;)
