Hapless Halloween ( Footled )

THAT NIGHT ... THE  FRIGHT ..

         PREPARED ...  BE  SCARED ...

              BROOM STICKS ...  OLD TRICKS ...

                     DARK STREETS ... FOR TREATS ...

                           STRANGE LOOKS ...  WEIRD SPOOKS ...

                                     SKINNED BONES .. LOUD GROANS ...

                                            NO RULES ... FOR GHOULS ...


                                                   HAIRY ... SCARY .....


Inspired for the Halloween footle show  !!


      And a Halloween Limerick to finish  +++

 The scariest ghoul ever seen
 Was a little man , dressed in bright green .
 Frightening each one he meets
 With his weird trick or treats .
 He is Irish ... Mister Hal O'Ween .

I LOVE both of these, the first one and the limerick. Gosh, I wish you had more current poems for me to view! I think soon I will be all the way down your list! Thanks for your gracious comment. Hmmm,you signed the "ugly sister" (for one of Cinder's stepsisters, I imagine). I have imagined from your name that you are a guy, however, Am I wrong?? can sean be a girl's name too? LUv, Andrea
