Premium Membergeese do not have to say trick or treat

three geese walked into a bar; just kidding
but there were three geese from town of Glidding
They decided to dress in costume for Halloween night.
Pilgrim, pumpkin head, and ghost who was stark white.

They were invited eagerly to join the children throng.
They did not have to honk, so nothing went wrong.
When others yelled out “trick or treat”
they held out their sacks, for goodies to eat.


Premium Memberwhimsical haunted house

whimsical haunted house was created with children in mind
they promote unity, peace, hope, love, everything kind
they have witches and black cats, ghosts and gremlins too
but all these creatures want to do is sing lullabies to you

they serve you cider, pumpkin cakes, apple pies and such
I love being there, they have a warm, friendly, happy touch
this haunted house is not like any other on the block
They never turn you away, the door does not have a lock

Premium Memberwerewolf of course

dark Lord, lend me your horns and tail
the monster you need is with me in jail
my brother mike, a werewolf mean
he is the perfect villain on Halloween

His howl is treacherous, it ruins your suppers
His teeth are revolting, especially the uppers
Nightmares will be given throughout the night
to anyone who has seen his transformed sight

who else has the haunches to run children down?
To scare them so hard, the earth turns brown?
What other animal's howl causes your blood to stop?
you can pause right here, the werewolf is your only op.

when he wolfs out, there is blood in his teeth
he captures humans and tears into flesh above and beneath
the screaming goes on for a long time until his prey is dead
he will keep you tossing all night, scared to death inside your bed.

Premium Memberdressed as a mirror

Melvin the monster went to Halloween dressed as a mirror
What is it? Some asked. Pointing -over here, over here.
He thought he had outfoxed them, but his costume lured them in.
What is it? Who is it? The other children were fascinated by him.

Premium Memberchildren of Jack

who is guarding the old haunted shack?
It is not one, but a bunch; we call them children of Jack
I thought this was odd until I saw what they were
Not people at all, not of feathers, flesh or fur.

It was a patch of jack-o-lanterns which made sense to me.
There were tiny ones and tall ones, some came up to my knee.
They have faces that made me smile, laugh and cringe.
There was even a pair of jack-o-lantern twins!


Premium MemberQuirky Bats from Lemon Flats

quirky bats from lemon flats
rolled up into the orange mats
did not come out until Halloween
hidden until they chose to be seen

the children liked them right away
parents were not yelling “yes, hooray!”
but children are not fearful until they are told
by people who are prejudiced, staid and old

Premium Membermasked children never knew

wizards and witches whistled in the trees
owls and bats were hidden in their places
Halloween night, there was a gentle breeze
frisky cats were hunting for mouse traces

Dracula was shaking Frankenstein’s toe
A coffin lid creaked open from next door
Get up! He yelped. It is past time to go!
large mummy headed toward the crypt’s front door

werewolf in the distant was howling strong
monster mash was beginning in a few
soothsayer in the forest rang a gong
lots of white ghosts; I counted twenty-two

we danced around the masked children of course
I went as the back of a sturdy horse

Premium MemberHalloween Dragon

Halloween dragon wanted to choose his own jack-o-lantern today
He was thrilled with the pumpkin farm said my friend Farmer Kay
We tried to keep him hidden, like his mother had suggested to us
But the children spotted him right away and named him Gus.

It was a photo opportunity for many, children gathered around.
Sitting on him and next to him, jack-o-lanterns on the ground
Word spread and people came from a hundred miles away.
Could we please keep Halloween dragon for another day?

Premium Membercandy witch

Candy witch did not sell her sweet treats, she gave them away
Children of all ages ran over to consume, happy to play
She got them hooked on her confections, in an addicted way
They could not get off them, they followed her to I.O. Way

They gave up their parents, siblings, pets, hobbies, jobs and such
The only thing they wanted were her wares which now cost very much
Candy witch was getting richer, her consumers were getting angry and sad.
She was doling out her wares to new plebes, who at first were very glad.

Premium MemberCast out of Halloween City

I heard that he was cast out of Halloween City
For he was frightening children, and not very witty
He tried to be a comedian but that did not work at all
We did not see him again until the very next fall

Was it his costume, his attitude or what? We will never know
But he was off-putting, unfriendly, and had a weird glow.
We stayed away from him, crossed the street when we saw him arrive.
I remember this well said my uncle, and I was a wee lad of five.

Premium MemberTerrified of Skeleton Man

Skeleton Man took over the library’s story hour yesterday
It was October, but still, frightened children ran away
What can we do? The board hired him the other librarians said.
He will be a real hit tomorrow, Day of the Dead.

The children were screaming, refused to come back.
Their mothers and fathers were following them to the railroad track.
They wanted to jump on trains and go to Omaha or Utah maybe.
Skeleton Man had scared them witless, they thought he had rabies.

Premium MemberSquirrel went Trick or Treating

squirrel who hides treats went out in disguise
scrambling among other treaters, kind of a surprise
you have such a neat costume, I really like the hood!
This was stated by many children and my Uncle Goode

Uncle Goode told us about the squirrel and we had a laugh
We knew he was real, said my pal, a good-natured giraffe
But since he did not, we loved it that the squirrel pulled the wool.
That disguise which was terrific was his ultimate Halloween goal.

Premium MemberSkeletons 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.

Premium MemberDeranged Gnome

Deranged gnome is fancied up for Halloween
He is wearing goblin colors, said my cousin, Sheen.
He looks frightening, I said. Is he a little mean?
A temper on this guy, I actually have never seen.

If he goes outside to trick-or-treat.
Will we hear children screaming on the street?
He looks like he is ready to eat
Pets, grandmothers, and a child’s feet.

Premium MemberDon't be a chicken - Don't be afraid

I'm ready with candy apples
Hello kiddies come knock at my door
Dare claim your Halloween treat!
