Trick Or Treat Amidst the dark of night Beneath the harvest moon Carved pumpkins shine their light The fall has come too soon Beneath the harvest moon Their laughter fills the air The fall has come too soon Now Halloween is here Their laughter fills the air They line up one by one Now Halloween is here And they will have some fun They line up one by one Under October skies And they will have some fun While dressing in disguise Under October skies The ghosts and goblins roam While dressing in disguise They’ll come into your home The ghosts and goblins roam Carved pumpkins shine their light They’ll come into your home Amidst the dark of night ____________________________________________ Witches In Flight Oh my you cry Spiders and bats The witches fly In big black hats Spiders and bats Witches in flight In big black hats Are out this night Witches in flight Up in the air Are out this night In hopes to scare Up in the air Ugly bats fly In hopes to scare As you pass by Ugly bats fly The white ghosts glow As you pass by There down below The white ghosts glow The witches fly There down below Oh my, you cry ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides |

These were delightful. You folks seem to have a proliferation of pantoums going around. What's the occasion? Somebody clue me in, please!  --Kesslynne ------------------ You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |

Well Ruth...A++ from me...and as for that extra credit!...Brown noser. I think I will sit behind you next class. Easier to look over your shoulder and cheat a little...LOL. I really hope that Michael wasn't too bad with the spit balls. He can be such a trouble maker. |

Hoot, I liked the read, especially the first one. I think these have to go back to the top for Halloween. |
