Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a curious thing,
They don’t dance and they don’t sing.
They don’t have hair, they don’t meow,
They don’t look much like a cow.
They just sit around all day,
Out in the fields among the hay,
Sometimes they gather by the stable,
Sometimes they end up on the kitchen table.
But what brings a pumpkin to full life,
Is a guided hand with a carving knife.

Haunted House
There’s a house upon the hilltop
We will not go inside,
For that is where the witches live,
Where ghosts and goblins hide.
Tonight they have their party,
All the lights are burning bright,
But oh we will not go inside
The haunted house tonight.
The demons there are whirling
And the spirits swirl about.
They sing their songs to Halloween.
“Come join the fun,” they shout.
But we do not want to go there,
So we run with all our might
And oh we will not go inside
The haunted house tonight.

Happy Halloween
It’s late and we are sleepy,
The air is cold and still.
Our jack-o-lantern grins at us
Upon the window sill.
We’re stuffed with cake and candy
And we’ve had a lot of fun,
But now it’s time to go to bed
And dream of all we’ve done.
We’ll dream of ghosts and goblins
And of witches that we’ve seen,
And we’ll dream of trick-or-treating
On this happy Halloween.

Halloween Wishes
Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
Halloween spirits, ghosts and cats,
Weird-happenings and witches brew,
These are the things I wish for you.
May the only spirit you chance to meet,
Be the spirit of love and warm friends sweet.
May the tricks that you are asked to do,
Be a trick to help you gain a friend or two.
So, by tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give them all a Halloween treat.
You only have one day, so hurry!
Leave a treat on the doorstep, then flee in a hurry!

This Is Halloween
Goblins on the doorstep,
Phantoms in the air,
Owls on witches’ gate posts,
Giving stare for stare.
Cats on flying broomsticks,
Bats against the moon,
Stirring round of fate-cakes,
With a solemn spoon.
Whirling apple parings,
Figures draped in sheets,
Dodging, disappearing,
Up and down the streets.
Jack-o’-lanterns grinning,
Shadows on a screen,
Shrieks and starts and laughter -
This is Halloween!

Halloween
The night is dark
And the goblins are out,
And the witches and black cats
Are prowling about.
And costumed creatures
The strangest I’ve seen,
Are knocking on doors
'Cause tonight’s Halloween!

Twelve Rules For A Safe Halloween
1. When it looks as if a monster might be either resting or asleep, never poke it with a stick to find out which one it is.
2. Never read a book of magic spells aloud, even as a joke.
3. Do not search the basement or the attic of an old house or castle for the fuse box or circuit breaker, especially if someone tells you the weird noises are just the wind or the foundation settling.
4. When you have the benefit of numbers, stay together and never pair off or go it alone.
5. As a general rule, never solve puzzles that open portals to other worlds.
6. Do not take objects from goblins or from a haunted house.
7. If you find a town that looks deserted, there is probably a good reason for it. Do not stop and look around.
8. Do not fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you are sure you know what you are doing.
9. If you are running from a monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice. Also, note that despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shuffling along, it can still move fast enough to catch up to you.
10. Beware of strangers bearing strange tools, for example, chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from old junk.
11. Kitty has claws. That black cat may look like a harmless furball, but you are better off not trying to pick it up or pet it, and give it lots of space. Also, where there are black cats, cackling witches that want to turn you into a frog by way of incantations are likely to be nearby.
12. If something that is seven feet tall comes to your door, give it all the candy it wants, and then run out the door past it as fast as you can, and hope that you are just having a particularly bad nightmare.
