Poem
Poor Miss Carrie was scared of anything to do with Halloween, She’d jump at just the sheer mention of this holiday, no please Let’s just talk about something else, but as all hollows eve Approached, this nervous girl would stay inside and hide! I’m not going out until it’s all done and over with she’d Say, I’ll stay indoors where it’s nice and cozy, if you don’t Mind just the same! But every child has a natural curiosity, and when everyone Was busy, she’d peek outside the window, their children Ran up and down the streets, gathering candy, laughing Maybe she thought it ain’t so scary after all, the child Thought. Gathering every bit of courage, scary Carrie ventured Outside at last, with a pillow case in her trembling hands, Her mother asked are you sure my little dearest, yes I’m going to be brave, and face my fear, up and down The cobwebbed covered block, these tiny darlings Ran, screaming trick or treat, smell my feet or give Me something good to eat! Oh mother dearest, I have no proper costume to ware, With some suet from the fireplace, we’ll fix that right Up, a smudging here and there, an oversized dress, With Aunt Fanny’s yellow sun hat! Now that’s a homemade costume that’s totally Sheik, what a sight to behold, than the fearful Child smiled hugged her mother tightly, thank you So much! Running down the lane scary Carrie went running Along joining her friends, in this holiday tradition, Returning later on, tired but so happy, Mother I’ve learned there is nothing to fear about Halloween At all, and now I can’t wait until next! Up to bed she smiled and yawned, singing a trick Or treat bedtime song, I use to be scared of Halloween, A regular Freddie cat, scary Carrie the other kids teased, But now they call me fearless, and brave! After she said her prayers that night, Carrie puckered Her candy stash away beneath her pillow, and dreamed About her night’s adventures, saying to her mother dearest, I’ll never be frightened again!
