Poem
For my grandson Tyler...with love Grandma In a little ghost town in a land far away, Lived little ghost Ty who liked always to play- Father ghost warned him not to be scary, While Mama ghost told him to always be wary! October arrived - the time coming near, Ty’s favorite holiday, soon would be here- His friends were practicing to loudly say “Boo,” He thought to himself, should I say it too? “Do we have to wait until it’s dark?” Ty asked, He wasn't sure if his patience would last- His ghost buddies teased him a number of times, “Can you, for once in your life, your parents not mind?” Little ghost Ty thought for a minute and said, Wel-l-l. they’ll never know if we stay far ahead- All of his friends practiced frightening each other, Ignoring the things said by his father and mother! Excitement abound when night time arrived, Ty and friends, a plan they contrived- They told Ty’s sister, “ Keep your parents near, Don’t let them catch up to us – clear?" The night was so windy it whistled a tune, The sky was dark with an elliptical moon- Ty and his friends raced out of sight, A little afraid, Ty pulled his sheet tight! “Don’t be a baby,” said his little ghost friends, “We’re nearing the school, where the road bends- Get ready for action, we’ll belt it out loud. We’ll scare everyone in that Halloween crowd.” Little Ty shivered as they passed by the school, Out of the bushes jumped three purple ghouls – BOO! Ty and his friends were totally surprised, Tears came rolling right down their eyes. When father and mother caught up with their group, They could tell that the little guys had really been spooked- As they went to each door with their trick or treat phrase, Ty and his friends, by his parents side stayed! Upon returning home on Halloween night, Little ghost Ty knew his parents were right- Never say something you don’t want said to you - And listen to your parents, they know what’s best to do!
