Wishing
You A Happy Halloween!
'Twas All Hallows Eve, and
all through the town,
The ghosties and goblins
are scurrying 'round.
A skeleton was hung in the
willow with care.
In hopes that the children
will get a good scare.
Jack o' lanterns are carved,
and displayed on the steps.
Their faces fantastic, some
might say grotesque.
White candles inside them
are flickering and glowing;
A swirl of dried autumn leaves
around them are blowing.
Dad's in a fake mustache,
and I'm in a wig.
Pretending to dance to a
spirited jig.
When out on the lawn there
arose such a clatter.
We sprang to the door to
see what was the matter.
When what to our wondering
eyes did behold;
A ghost and a black cat with
eyes of deep gold.
Who laughed as they ran off
without a good-bye.
Their giggling disclosing
a trick gone awry.
The skeleton was collapsed
on the ground in a heap.
It was missing a bone from
its arm and both feet!
Aghast and dismayed, we looked
all around.
Plunked inside our pumpkins,
the bones we soon found.
We laughed 'till our sides
were aching and sore;
Then glanced at the pumpkins
and chortled some more.
So bring on the pirates and
monsters tonight.
It's Halloween Eve and we
NEED a good fright!
For my two trick or treaters
