Halloween Things
By
Susan Sundwall
These are the things of
Halloween
A
ghost, a witch and Frankenstein green
A
pumpkin, a bat and a bushy tailed cat
My
big brother Tom in his old wizard hat
Knocking on doors all down the
street
We
fill up our bags with good things to eat
There’s Billy Taylor dressed
like a ghost
Without any pillows, he’s
fatter than most
We’re lucky we didn’t see
Sally Ann Green
They say that she’s really a
vampire queen
At
last it’s too dark to stay out much later
We
drag ourselves home and lay out our treasure
It’s spooky and silly and
great gobs of fun
Oh
how I hate to see Halloween done
