Halloween Parades

The Village Halloween Parade*
Is famous through the land,
The costumes so creative
That they surely beat the band.

But I was sent some pictures
And some video as well
From a local school parade
Much cuter, far as I can tell.

The kindergarten students,
Dressed in various disguise,
Sang their hearts out in the schoolyard,
An adorable surprise.

They’d been practicing for weeks
And their performance a delight,
With choreography to mimic
Witch’s broom or vampire bite.

Of course, you’ve figured out by now
This was my grandson’s school,
Which, with him inside, will always
Be the best. (That’s Nana’s rule!)
