Halloween: Safety First Then Fun!!!

Halloween: Safety First Then Fun!!! By the Poets Listed After the Poem Happy day getting candy treats while dressed like spooks and goblins. Angels, genies, princesses, too, put “loot” in their bags and tins. Look both ways when you cross the street. Always stay close to your friends. Lighted homes. Festive decorations. Porches. Pumpkins. Invite! Oh, be leery of the dark, where ghosts and spooks stay out of site. Wear bright costumes that reflect at night! Not lose or tight. Just right! Every child must be aware that some goblins inhabit homes. Each year we hear of razor blades placed in a child’s candied cones. Never!!! Ever!!! Eat your treats 'til Mom says, “OK, little gnomes.” Stay safe! Look around! While you walk, beware of witches and bats. Always, ghosts and goblins watch. Looking out for sweet treats you drop. Fear? If they happen to appear parents, quickly call the cops! Enjoy laughter, hot chocolate, and other treats with your friends. Take care not to play tricks that could hurt others or cause offense. Youngsters, polite and respectful, great delight they do dispense. Fun you will have! Enjoyment too. Be sure that you are careful! In all situations, “Trick-or-Treaters” beware! Need HELP? Shout!!! Remember say, “Thank you” for treats when you’re out and about. Stay clear of Spooky Soupers as they write with their crazy pens. To write in verse, some witches curse. And drive sanity ‘round bends. The madness, “Dearie,” is very clear; they strive to make amends. Hooting owls and wild black cats wildly eat from your mum's pumpkin Eerily, creaky zombies leave their tombs and walk down your streets. Night, bubbling soups, you must beware, might be made of your own feet-- Frantic frenzies and fabulous fun begins just before dark. Under that moonlit chilling night, “Trick- or-Treaters,” find their mark. Nearby neighbors anticipate. Waiting with treats is a lark!
