Twas the night before Halloween

Twas the night before Halloween

 And all through the house
 All the creatures were stirring,
 Especially the mouse!

 The "in-house Trick or Treat receptacles" were hung

 By the cauldron with care,
 In hopes that the Great Pumpkin
 Soon would be there.

 The witches were planning

 A party that night
 For their goulfriends, demons, goblins
 And other purveyors of fright.

 Their black cats were busy

 Matting their fur.
 The spiders were spinning,
 You could hear their spinnerets whir!

 Those other familiars,

 The owl and the fox,
 Heard hissing and scratching
 From Pandora's box.

 The cauldron was steaming

 With unsavory stew:
 Eye of newt, wart of toad,
 A most traditional brew.

 The front yard tombstones

 With dead flowers adorned;
 Skeletons hung from the trees
 So all might be warned

 That Halloween Horrors

 This night rule the land,
 So it's best to stay home
 And hold someones hand

I hope your Halloween is frightfully wicked and lots of fun

and have a great weekend.  Nancy
