Josie Loves Spinning Around

They were innocent in their wish-making today In grandma’s attic, two young cousins, Josie and Jay. Solemn ceremony for them, not merry or gay. They recited a chant, hoping it was the right way. The jack-o-lantern alter began making an odd sound. It flung them into a corner, over and upside down. I felt like a Halloween top, a buffoon, a clown. Said Jay but Josie laughed and said, “I loved spinning around!”
