A Halloween Poem

                    Halloween Hullaballoo
                
                         A Poem By 


                      Neyland D. Catt


Twas a dark autumn eve and the skies were all black
As I wandered the house, chills down my back
Wind moaned through the branches, curling my toes
All around people draped in strange clothes

Pumpkins with faces leered from their perch
zombies and vampires would shuffle and lurch
Candles were burning but gave little light
Gracie was huddled under the bed full of fright

Ghostly images meant to frighten a poor cat
circled round Tiger who was still contentedly fat
Apparitions and ghouls are haunting this place
spiders were creeping and Anime would give chase

Small children huddled together in search of candy
petting the kittens, their snack sacks kept handy
I saw goblins and ghouls and all things in between
I fell asleep grinning, what a strange halloween
