Dutch Halloween St. Maarten is our Halloween 11th next month kids come by All scolding 'round they shall be seen Dare not a soul refuse to buy 11th next month kids come by For sweets with truly awful face Dare not a soul refuse to buy With loud noise and determined pace For sweets with truly awful face They haunt you down feeding your fears With loud noise and determined pace It's best that you cover your ears They haunt you down feeding your fears Hand over all the treats you have It's best that you cover your ears They'll sing to you until you're deaf Hand over all the treats you have 'Cause when you dare refuse, "Oh my" They'll sing to you until you're deaf Skinflint ! Devils come out and cry! 'Cause when you dare refuse, "Oh my" All scolding 'round they will be seen Skinflint ! Devils come out and cry ! St. Maarten is our Halloween. : ) |

Munda, thank you for sharing this! I loved reading it. Sounds like American Halloween, except over here, some kids say, "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! If you don't I don't care, I'll pull down you underwear..." LOL. Anyway, great pantoum! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

A little look at another culture's holidays, neat. I like the poem, thank you for sharing  "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! |
