The thirty first of October is Halloween ‘Spooky Joes ‘party will be the best you’ve seen He drew up a list of who to invite It was going to be one scary night. Dracula, Mummy and Frankenstein With big black dogs that bark and whine Werewolves and Ghouls are coming too To ‘Spooky Joes ‘Halloween do. Terrifying pumpkins with candlelight Guaranteed to give you a fright Green slime and cobwebs adorn his door With spiders crawling all over the floor. With the north wind blowing and a moon so bright Conditions were perfect for the night Trick or treat kids up and down the streets Asking for money or a bag of sweets. ‘Spooky Joe’s party was now in full swing The blood was flowing and so was the gin A surprise was planned for later that night Guaranteed to give his guests a fright. The coach and horses from the other side Would arrive at midnight to give his guests a ride Where it would take them no one can tell It could be paradise or the fires of hell. Written 13 March 2018

Well in keeping with the spirit of Halloween. As March 31st is drawing closer, I was eager to see what your highly imaginative brain has concocted. Beautiful poem, dear Tom
