One red octagon
Tells you not to go.
Four white letters you
Surely need to know!
Sometimes green or purple
I grow in clusters on a vine.
Round and plump and juicy.
I taste best in summertime.
Although I am a squash
Of October fame
If you carve a face in me
I have another name.
50 stars and 13
Stripes adorn my
Rectangle shape,
Upon the heroes of
This land my colors
Have been draped.
