HALLOWEEN MAGIC
A bald-headed ghost
Drank some witches'
brew
And on top of his head
A strange thing grew.
It was
pointed and tall
And black as a bat
With stringy long hair
Where
his head was flat.
The sad little ghost
Didn't want any hair
Or
a black pointed hat
So he said, "Witch beware!"
Then he chanted some
words
With a spell-casting switch
And gave Halloween Night
A
bald-headed witch!!

SHIVERS
Bushes quiver
where shadows lean,
and not a
sliver
of moon is seen.
Near the river
some goblins
(green)
with a witch in front
and a ghost in between
Make me
sh..i..vvvver,
but I am keen
about the shivers
of
Halloween.

IT'S
HALLOWEEN
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and
bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other
night.
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting
duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic
brooms.
In masks and gowns
we haunt the street
And knock on
doors
for trick or treat.
Tonight we are
the king and
queen,
For oh tonight
it's Halloween!
~Jack Prelutsky~

Halloween is
creepy full of scary sounds.
Kids are roaming in the night with their
costumes on.
The moon is full high in the air,
gleaming bright
everywhere.
Trample trample pat pat pat,
while everyone goes through
the night.
Bags are full of candy,
for the sweet tooth kids to
eat.
It is now getting late as the moon rises higher.
Rubbing there
eyes fast asleep,
THAT IS HALLOWEEN

On a spooky
Halloween night,
When Goblins and witches come out to fight,
When
children go out to say "Trick or Treat",
When goblins and witches and
people meet.
Around the town loud noises roar,
And when you hear the
sound,
"Knocking" at your door.
Should you open it?
Should you be
scared?
Trick or Treaters are everywhere!
But don't you worry,
And
don't you fright,
Its only one day,
One evening,
Its Halloween
Night!

DEVIL'S NIGHT
Don't go out on Devil's Night.
Stay in your bed
and keep on the light.
Little demons and ghouls have their fun all
right,
outside on the streets this Devil's Night.
You don't want
to know what mischief they cause.
On Halloween Eve they run without
pause,
flying and laughing, and breaking the laws,
you really don't
want to see the mischief they've caused.
Please heed my words, stay
under the covers,
and tell your friends and your sisters, and of course
your brothers.
Stay in bed, don't even peek through the
shutters,
'cause a goblin or ghost may spook you to stutters.
Just
wait until daybreak on Halloween Day,
when you know all the ghouls and
ghosts are away.
They hate the daylight, "it's no fun," they say.
So
just please, please wait to Trick or Treat on Halloween Day.
THE
MONSTER WHO WAS MISUNDERSTOOD
This is a tale of poor old Frank
--
Frank the monster, not Tom, Rich, or Hank.
He was created by a
scientist in a great house.
A house on a mountain, much too big for a
mouse.
There in the basement, the docter toiled night and day,
with
the help of his friend Igor, who had little to say.
Finally when all was
assembled like a bike,
a bolt of lightning gave dear Frank his new
life.
He sat up from the table where he laid for months,
scratched his
square head, and said "I'm ready for lunch!"
He crashed through the door,
and went into town,
where he arrived at the diner and tried to sit
down.
But everyone screamed , and left their plates hot.
Even the
cooks ran away without their prized pots.
So Frank could have nothing to
quell his belly's rumble,
not a burger, or fries, or even Apple Pie
Crumble.
He was almost in tears, and very, very sad,
and walked into
the streets where everyone went mad,
and screamed in horror at Frank's
sight.
No one had seen such a thing in their life.
Frank tried to
explain, "I'm just hungry, that's all.
I mean you no harm, even though I
am tall."
A little girl saw him where she sat on the corner,
and
thought, he's not so scary, infact he might be an orphan.
So she walked
up to Frank and tugged at his sleeve,
and said, "My name is Cinthia,
Cindy if you please."
He said, "I'm just a little hungry, and don't know
where I am."
"That's O.K.," Cindy answered, and pulled out some
ham--
ham for a sandwich she was waiting to make,
and she pulled out
two slices of bread freshly baked.
They sat on the corner to a half
sandwich each,
both happy, and smiling as a sunny day
peach.

HALLOWEEN
I 'M MAKING A WITICHES BREW,
SLINGING THE ANIMALS
FROM THE ZOO,
A LITTLE GIRL YELLS, A COWS BELL,
IT'S SO GOOD PLEASE
DON'T TELL.
A CATS CLAW THAT TASTES LIKE WAR,
A CLINCH OF HAIR FROM
THE TIDY LAW,
A BUTTON FROM THE WIZARDS CLOAK,
A COUPLE OF MUSCLES
FROM THE WOMENS BLOKE,
NOW ALL THESE MIXED TOGETHER,
IT'LL SOON TASTE
LIKE SHINY LEATHER.
ALL I NEED TO MAKE IT MORE,
SLING IN AN OLD APPLE
CORE.
AND NOW IT'S DONE, IT WEIGHS A TON.
NOW OFF I GO WITH MY WITCHES
BREW,
DOWN THE STREET I'M COMING THROUGH,
I'M GOING BY, THE BABIES

I AM LOOKING AROUND TOO FIND THE WIZARD,
TOO TURN HIM INTO A LONG
GREEN LIZARD!!!!

On Halloween all that beams is a little yellow light.
I go to school
and on my way I see all gost and ghouls
I wonder why these things are out
and all are running about.
It's not time for the trick or treaters to
come, I wonder where their from?
But when I looked all around the things
that I saw were just heading to the school's ball.
My my my oh what a
scare. I wonder if all my friends will be there?

On Halloween
all the monsters in sight are having a party tonight.
Frankenstein and
the misses will send you hugs and kisses.
The party never ends, cause
this is in your dreams.
But if Halloween could have such a sight, would
you still love Halloween night?

Here's a
wide-eyed owl,
With a pointed nose
And claws for toes.
He lives
high in a tree.
When he looks at you,
He flaps his wings
And says,
"Whoo-whoo-whoo".
*****************************************************
THE SCARECROW
The farmer made a scarecrow
And stuffed it full
of straw.
He put it in the cornfield,
but the crows
laughed,
"Haw-caw-caw."
One crow sat upon Scarecrow's hat.
He was
not scared at all.
That scarecrow did not scare
A single crow away all
fall!

HENRY'S
HALLOWEEN
Lantern burning light
Still the moon keeps shining
bright
Darkness comes to make it night
Children given a
fright
Witches fly across the sky
On a broomstick up, up
high
Black cat flying with the witch
Wizard's Wand beginning to
twitch
'Trick or Treaters' playing tricks
On those who didn't give
them sweets
Everyone is very scared
The pumpkin has an evil
glare
Evil spirits fill the streets with bones
The skeletons are
in town!
Ghosts keep the children awake
......Bats fly back to their
cave.
