Grotesquely scary witches clustered in their coven,
Fricasseeing chickens, their green arms tightly woven.
Agitated ghouls and gremlins, hearing warning owl’s hoot,
Began a little brawl at Angry Elm’s October root.
Foraging bats glided in for a better swooping look.
White fluorescent ghosts announced they had come to cook.
Faeries, elves, pixies and sprites quickly were unseen.
Welcome to Haunted Hollow. This is Halloween.
