Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Halloween Kitten

Hiding in the bushes he waits to pounce,
he enjoys Goobers and Gobstoppers, right to the very last ounce.
He might settle for a Snickers or even a Kit Kat,
he’s black, shiny and sneaky this Halloween Cat.

He may cross your path and give you quite a fright,
but he just wants your candy on this October night.
This Halloween Kitty is surely not a joke,
he even knows the Heimlich just in case you should choke.

Please don’t mistake his kindness for weakness my friend,
he seeks to get your treats before this night’s end.
Take heed and beware of this Halloween Kitten,
he can see through your bag and with chocolate he’s smitten.
