We are making hot chocolate the witch twins lied.
I could not see exactly what the cauldron had inside.
But I suspected they were not giving us the whole truth.
They are diabolical, Mrs. Hootie Belle and Mrs. J. Ruth.
Grickley Grackle, and snackle fizz. They were stupefied by Rack.
He is their uncle, and his sense of humor is macabre, rather black.
They turned into crocodiles with teeth that scared me away.
The last time I saw them they were chasing each other, I’d say.

A shooting star breaks the clouds,
among racing meteors.
Evergreens stretch to catch its' tail.
as an owl hootie-hoots with glee,
at the spectacle and cricket cheers erupt,
beneath this celebratory sky.

it is, what it is
what more can i say
one little alter can change
your whole day
at times we don't have the slightest clue
damned if we don't, damned if we do
no need to stress about it
forget feeling blue
just do like we did in the nineties
and sing Hootie hoo
its gonna be, what its gonna be
nothing more to say
eventually, somehow everything
will work out and be okay
at times, it may seem like you are going a bit cuckoo
fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee doo
no need to stress about it
forget feeling blue
just do like the nineties
and sing Hootie hoo

I was on my way to school when it happened.
You see, I never miss school and for me,
playing hooky has an entirely different meaning!
Well,
I was scrounging up some lunch along the way.
By the by, the Mississippi river is a great place to eat!
and I came upon what I thought was a great big
Seaweed salad.
Opening wide for my first taste, snagged!
my left whisker caught in a net.
Yes, I know what you’re probably thinking,
he’s still in school and he has whiskers?
I was really scared.
I for one, do not intend to end up
covered in corn meal, sizzling in a frying pan.
You know, I have aspirations. But, my mom says
stay in school so I have something to fall back on.
I can sing!
Sure, some may call it noise but hey,
there was Hootie and the Blowfish, why not
Codie and the Catfish?

Hallowed specters fill the air;
goblins and ghoulies have no cares.
Hidden in the darkest night;
creatures scramble with delight.
Glowing eyes and mournful howls;
leave behind the hootie owls.
Specters swirling with delight;
flit too and fro beneath street lights.
The haul they take upon this eve;
confections that are sure to please.
If you should fail to bring delight;
you will be tricked upon this night.
No exemptions will be given;
lest you’ve rolled a lucky 7.
The game of Halloween has rules;
watch and beware those nasty ghouls.
Your generosity sets you free;
evil creatures, you won’t see.
Just children in their costumes bright;
Neath the glowing moon’s bright light.
Upon this night, you must make haste;
there is no moment you can waste.
Don’t forget the Jack-o-lantern;
it frightens nearly every phantom.

I have four brothers.
I have three sisters.
I share with them love.
It's not always easy to love.
Especially those "mean" brothers.
or those "Hootie~snooty" sisters
Those beautiful, caring sisters.
Those wonderfully funny brothers.
Each one easy to love.
Brothers, sisters, a family, filled with love.
