Mushroom elf threw his cap into the air
It landed on green ferns without a care
Old Kansas fox looked up from his nap in the lair
Tiny giggle escaped from mum faerie fair
Cap was grabbed up by a mean gnome named Jair
Jair was scooped up by a growly grizzly bear
Bear painted the cap blue and gray on a dare
Cap took six hours to dry in the warm country air.
A modern fright
must be polite,
and never cause a wound.
A modern boo
must be thought through,
and always auto-tuned.
A modern bat
should not attack
without a horror song.
A modern ghoul
would look a fool
without some make-up on.
A modern bone
must have its phone
when it lies on the ground.
A modern snake
demands milkshakes
before it slithers round.
A new elf sent
will carry scent
in case it passes gas.
A modern witch
has no broomstick,
but travels in first class.
A modern spook
should wear a suit
and have a lot of charm.
A modern scare
should never dare
in case it comes to harm.
A modern grave
should have a shave,
and always look pristine.
A modern child
should still run wild
because it’s Halloween!!
There was a naughty boy
And a naughty boy was he
For nothing would he do
but scribble poetry:
he took up his pen
again&again
with never a doubt
inside his head
ideas did shout
Why was this so
No-one did know
For like Topsy
they just seemed to grow!
Before us lies a week of tricks or treats.
But I beckon you to join me in a time of treats.
Kids are presently tricked more and treated less.
In a season giving rise and unfolding evils yet untold,
May we extend to kids bags of sweets with no bitterness.
And we pray that God will hold back the curtain of darkness.

Hush little one
Hush little one
Nap time is here
Hush little one
Hush little one
Please have no fear
Close your eyes tight
Dream a nice flight
So, hush little one,
Hush little one
Nap time is here
A day at the zoo can be tough
As animals tend to play rough
So mom said, "Whoa!
Its time to go!"
When bull elephants did some stuff
Let’s all learn the 2-D shapes
2-D shapes, 2-D shapes
Let’s all learn the 2-D shapes
They have width and length.
2-D shapes are flat and thin
Flat and thin, flat and thin
2-D shapes are flat and thin
On papers…we can draw.
Let’s all learn the 3-D shapes
3-D shapes, 3-D shapes
Let’s all learn the 3-D shapes
With length, width and height.
3-D shapes are fat and thick
Fat and thick, fat and thick
3-D shapes are fat and thick
They can stand and roll.

-Sharing with you the action song I’ve scribbled for my students in the lower grade (Gr3) to help them remember the 2D and 3D shapes. It’s in tune of Mary Had A Little Lamp. My students enjoyed and loved singing with the melody along with the gestures I taught. (ex. flat - clapping and thin -gesturing on hands or fingers. Hope your kids will love it.
The root people were gearing up for war.
They had their swords and axes out.
They were heading toward the store,
Where a rude man had been a lout.
We are taking all our kin home, they said.
You will have no more turnips or produce.
I stood back and watched the mandrakes
As they let their tempers loose.
The shopkeeper was sorry, he appealed to the potato.
I am sorry, she said, but you’ll have to settle for tomato.
The root people stay angry for days, and sometimes weeks.
So this means no rutabagas or beets or maybe leeks.
My teeth walked down the stairs today
Molar stepped on aluminum and I yelled “hey!”
They were rioting to protest the new floss.
I rolled my eyes; after all, I am the boss!
My mouth tried to speak but nothing came out
Not whisper, a gurgle, a cough or a shout.
My teeth snickered; a sassy incisor cheered.
They were gaining momentum as I had feared!
My tongue gave me a wagging; I heard not a word.
Those damn teeth had made my face feel absurd.
My teeth began dancing, in the night, in the street.
To a crazy, happy, sensual reggae beat.
How to get them back? What would I have to do?
I promised them the moon, and new floss too….
The whole group agrees and nods their head
Until one hopefully speaks up
Expecting the best from them
Come through beautifully
Group changes their minds

He gave a squawk. She gave a shriek.
He blinked a blink. She winked a wink.
Love in the making on a warm summer’s day.
Flirtation baking as these smitten robins flew away.
Ten little ponies jumping on the bed
One fell off and the other said
Look at Chester! That horse is dead.
A chatty raccoon in a plaid racing cap
Crashed our party with a lighting zap.
Showed our guests a brand new computer app.
An intelligent creature, quite a lovely chap.
Some partygoers danced on his fluffy lap.
Landing hard on the floor, a hearty whap.
If they annoy you, I said, give ‘em a slap.
This advice caused him to laugh and flap.
He spoke of an enormously keen treasure map.
One of the guests looked and said it was crap.
Another said don’t be a crazy old sap.
A third one began to speak of her disgusting pap.
Chatty raccoon’s head was held on by a strap.
Did not untie it for it was a conspiracy trap.
He began to boogie with a whistle and clap.
Loved this party-going raccoon who never did nap.

These are for kids out in the cold and the rain. Telling them everybody's the same. Don’t for a distance in a no dare of more. The hall for all answers yet a look at the floor. These are with deadlines in the can’t make every care. Telling them next in a better to share. Long and a hard glance for no chance with a grip. Tall tales and no fun in an always our flip. Makes for a true model yet in a car with a steal. Run down an alley for a life less of feel. These are not answers yet the question’s a guess. Takes on a childhood that is yours at a bless. More in a less frame for your time with a stand. Then in the best name for a fine then a man. These are not questions yet the gun's with a view. Theirs is the future in the no next to you. It tell's of a test lane for a ride in their strife. You in a distance for the kid with a life. No or a maybe it’s your call at a home. Left for the kids who stand naked alone. These are for kids out in the cold and in pain. Telling us not everbody's the same!
