Halloween Scare

They're polishing their broomsticks
and sharpening their hats
Catching little spiders
and feeding them to bats

Howling like the kittens
that sit around their vat
and coming to us shortly
when Halloween's scared at

They're coming!



I wrote this poem based on one I found
on the internet by Lillian Moore.
Here is her version of the poem from
the book Spooky Rhymes and Riddles



Poem about THEM

THEY
  polish their broomsticks,
  sharpen their hats,
  catch some spiders,
  feed the bats,
  try out some yowls
  with all the cats.
THEN
  witches are ready for
YOU
KNOW
WHEN!
