I scampered then among the ghosts
Who rattled chains at night.
And blushed in white, when faces green
Stirred caldrons at the sight
Of the haunted castle where an eerie cobweb hangs
Over spooky teams of creatures
With gruesome ghastly fangs.
It was worrisome, I say, but it was Halloween.
Today is April fool’s day; it’s nowhere near the scene
Of creepy crawly spiders and pointed witch’s hats,
Skeletons and reapers and lovely swarms of bats.
On April 1st we took the straw that scared away the crows.
And give it some new fingers and some ugly hairy toes.
We drew a map of where you live and made a shiny key.
Now, talk about a real joke, just you wait and see!
