Tying for fourth place with Mr Hinshaw is the greatest prize of all....for you are the masterful poet!! I think I will make the trick or treaters angry this year and pass out homework assignments at my front door. That'll benefit them more than all that sugar!! ha ha. My favorite costumes are the Batman and Joker. And yours? Gwendolen

Black cats are frightening during Halloween, but I'm here to tell you - we have three coal black kitties and they are the least frightening of all animals in this world. They do like to prowl though. Love, daver
