Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night...!!! Poet: Steve Almond...!!! Halloween is huge in my house and we really get into the "spirits" of things...!!! Poet: Dee Snider...!!!

Pumpkins . Pumpkins, Pumpkins In A Patch As Far As I Can See Pumpkins, Pumpkins An A Patch Look, That One's Bigger Than Me, I Need A Pumpkin Nice And Round So I Can Carve A Face And When I've Found The Perfect One I'll Bring It Back To My Place, I'll Make A Nice Big Pumpkin Smile That'll Light The Night With cheer My Small Little Pumpkin From Che Patch This Colorful Time Of Year...!!! Screech Owl Stew . First, Start With A Bat Wing That Has Aged A Thousand Years, Mix With A Dash Of Spider's Legs And A Drop Of Tarantula's Tears, Simmer It With The Elixir Of A Witch's Brew, That Is How You Make Screech Owl Lew...!!!

The Little Obstreperous Witch. She Wrinkled Her Nose At Her Useless Broom And Then Gave It A Toss In A Ditch She Was All Dressed Up And Had Somewhere To Be The Little Obstreperous Witch, She Stood On A Rooftop Looking Up At The Sky With Her Little Thumb Out For A Hitch She Looked Far And Near With A Frown On Her Face The Little Obstreperous Witch, The Halloween Ball Was Soon To Begin And Her Dancing Shoes Gave A Twitch Her Cat Hissed A Snarl And She Scowled Right Back The Little Obstreperous Witch, Then Out Of The Sky A Large Raven Appeared By The Name Of Mister Fritch She Hopped On Aboard And Flew Off To The Ball The Little Obstreperous Witch...!!! Screech Owl Stew Is A Delicacy A Culinary Delight But Before You Catch A Screech Owl He Might Put Up A Fight Who'd Want To Get Stewed In A Pot Seeping With Mummy's Hair??? If You Were A Screech Owl You'd Want To Get Out Of There, You Hear Them Screech Piercing The Night It Echoes Ever...

Is It A Ghost ??? Is It A Ghost I Hear Down The Basement Stairs, Creaking, Rapping, Hooting Everywhere? It Could Be The Washing Machine In Need Of Repair, But is it really A Ghost Down There...??? In Style. Bats And Spiders Come Out At Night In The Flickering Candlelight, Balls Of Lint Drift Through The Air Catching On The Cobwebs There, One Of These Days I'll Have To Clean But For Now I'm In Vogue For Halloween ...!!!

A Halloween Wish I'd Like To Go Fishing  For A Star And Send It To You Wherever You Are To Wrap You Once More In The Spells Of The Night And Fill All Your Senses With Awe And Delight. To Make You A Pirate or perhaps a queen, To Experience The Magic of Halloween . To Capture Again The Mystery And Surprise As Can Only Be Seen Through A Small Child's Eyes ...!!! Child's Halloween Costume Party Invite Poem Come One And "Cayden's" Friends Come All. Let's Kick Off Halloween With A Party This Fall. Tricks And Treats And A Lot Of Fun, Too. We Promise Not To Scare The Boo Out Of You...!!!

Deja Boo If we Choose to Believe Witches Can Fly On Magical Broomsticks Up in the Sky, And Every Year at Octobers End Ghosts Upon us do Descend, That Black Cats Shriek at Scary Sights, And Pumpkins Glow With Erie Lights, Then Once Again For me and You, Halloween is DEJA BOO...!!! " Happy Halloween ...!!!" Ghost Riddance When in the Kitchen they Spied a Mouse, Three Little Ghosts Flew From the House, They Were Scared as Scared Could Be, Of That Little Mouse They All Did See, And The Little Mouse Laughed With Gleee, When HE Frightened Off Those Ghosties Three, So If There Is A Ghost Living In Your house, Perhaps You Should Buy Yourself A Mouse...!!! " Happy Halloween ...!!!"

On Halloween The witches fly Across the sky, The Owls go, Who, Who, Who, The Black Cats Yowl, And Green Ghosts Howl, " Scary Halloween to You ...!!!" "Happy Halloween...!!!" Scarecrow Man Scarecrow Man, Scare the Birds if you Can, Or do You want to Play???  The Birds fly Around, But you're Tied Down, Cuz you're Just Stuffed with Hay...!!! " Happy Halloween ...!!!"
