Triple Limerick-Invasion of Beasts

Bright pumpkins flicker in shadows,
evil spirits hide in willows,
wolves renounce warfare,
even cats won't stare
at hungry griffins with large claws.


When the kids see those scary beasts,
they can't help laughing ...one retreats!
" Run, Jane, run!" yells Jared 
with spooky hair as Fred...
they both drop their bags full of treats.


The chaos continues through dark streets...
as squirrels feast on unwanted sweets;
Halloween's surprises
simply dramatize...
why should kiddies hide under sheets?

I see you are getting better and better with your limericks, Andrew. I loved that last line, why should kiddies hide under sheets. That was a really cute visual. Good luck in the contest. LUv, Andrea
