Ingredients:

• 1 (15 oz.) Can Pumpkin Puree (drain excess water)

• 2 3/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1/3 Cup Melted Butter

1. Mix together the flour, pumpkin and seasonings to make a soft dough, don't over work
   
2. Add additional flour if the dough is sticky or does not hold together.

4. Cut the rope into 1 inch pieces and roll each lightly along the floured surface.
5. Continue using up all the dough in this fashion. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet. You can refrigerate the gnocchi until you are ready to cook them.

Sauce:

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a slow boil.
2. Place the butter in a small saucepan and heat.
3. Add the garlic and sage.
4. Cook the gnocchi in lightly salted boiling water for until the gnocchi rise to the surface and float.

The Jack-O-Lantern

My name is foggy bill
I sit on the window sill
and look out on the night
which is dark but i am bright

I see many scary things go by
some are frightening, some are shy
they carry bags that hang almost down to their feet
and go to the doors yelling trick or treat

I am a jack-o-lantern
and this is what I've seen
and guess when i did see it?
