H.\LLOWEEN
All Hallow’s Eve is the season
When folks do a lot oi teasing.
And you can smell burning leaves
And see yellow pumpkins in the fields
With the sheaves of corn all around.
’Tis then all the little children
Hear stories of black arching cats
And witches on broomsticks
Gliding through the sky
Guided by their friends, the bats.
Some little boys and girls
Like to dress up as ghosts and parade
Up and down the streets
Svaiir.g others they might meet;
Tiiis they consider quite a trejt.
While at home, some
Beneath the covers hide
And hope the goblins will pass them

H’ding and waiting until dawn
When they will declare—‘I wasn’t
scared . . . not once.”
