Battle of the Grins

I barged past the front screen door into the cool evening air and caught an insolent challenger glaring from the top step: a carved orange pumpkin sporting a crooked, toothy sneer! Did this bloated squash honestly think it possessed the nastiest grin on the street? Inconceivable! I stomped right up to the vegetable pretender, dug my boots into the weathered floorboards, and jammed a stray black plastic fork deep between its jagged rind teeth like a defiant cigar. I threw both gloved fists to the night sky and let out a rumbling roar of laughter into the shadows. Nice audition, rookie, but the headliner keeps the spotlight!
