Pumpkin That Demands a Throne
The prize pumpkin grew a crown of vines overnight and now issues decrees from the patch—tax the cider, exile the scarecrows, appoint a knight of the rind. Farmers refuse; the pumpkin grows louder. Dethrone it, crown a rival gourd, or enforce one absurd law so thoroughly the patch begs for abdication.
