October For Kids (Haiku and Tanka)

Two Ps in PumPkin Two BIG Os in OctOber and apples galore One October night Along about All Saint's Day I heard Satan laugh T'was in a rural graveyard....... Or.....was it the old Bijou? October pig roast Girls squeal and the fire pit POPS! Boys have a leaf fight While Mrs. and I keep warm After dark the ghosts will come October hayrack A friendly kiss in the straw Horses country road Autumn mystery GIANT PUMPKINS come to life They live at our house The pool covered o'er No swimming in October Beneath the canvas Crawls the Amityville horror Or so big brother tells me
