Skeletons Celebrate Halloween and Day of the Dead

Skeleton family knew they would have two feasts that week.
On Halloween they feasted on lamb chops covered with leek.
On Day of the Dead, they consumed turkey with gravy in a giant taco.
Their festivals lasted for a week, ending down in warm, happy Mexico.

Today they are dining on frog legs, which they think are divine.
Everyone is sipping on fruit flies, and enjoying pumpkin vine wine.
Even the children have a little taste of the liquor, I guess.
Every plate is licked clean, so there is absolutely no mess.
