My Poor Sad Jack-O-Lantern

Life has come to an end for our poor sad jack-o-lantern.  He didn't last long even though I carved him on Halloween Eve.  Not sure why it had such a short life, because the temperatures were not that cold - if it freezes, then pumpkins don't last long at all.  I kept the Jack-O-Lantern lit for a number of nights after Halloween, and it was a surprise to see one morning that he had collapsed.  Of course, the thing that crossed my mind was that one day I may look like this!
