Halloween Party Observations

groovy graying grateful ghost
happy Halloween party’s healthy host
he was humble, did not boast
in truth, we all liked him the most

out of a ditch climbed an ugly witch
this party went on without a pause or hitch
Greedy gremlins danced swishing a switch
I ended up with a giant gremlin named Mitch

cutting in was a gigantic green ghoul
I do not dance with them as a rule
But this one I recognized from grade school
He told me he’d always considered me a jewel

In a bit I saw a carved pumpkin, Jack
I knew him from his carved hump back
Sorry I said to the vampire named Mack
I handed him a discarded trick-or-treat sack

Arriving now was Heather, the Halloween queen
prettiest October faerie I’d ever seen
She was warm and friendly, not at all mean
She did not put on airs, primp or preen

Best Halloween queen ever I said, giving her a toast.
She surely is! Added our groovy graying grateful host.
