Black cats and witches
grave yards and ghosts
vampire bats and goblins
all stand to make a toast
Give the beggars sweet cakes
so they will pray for your soul
many main traditions
began so very long ago
Don't be scared
but hold your breath
we have fun giving life
to a celebration of death
No matter how you celebrate,
or if you do at all,
Remember, to wrap your fun in safety
and hope you have a ball.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I would love to have grown up with such fun, instead of the solemn graveyards we have here.. though they do not blend very well either..
This is so Halloween perfect!
Love the safety poem. Very creative!
Those last two lines sum it all up so well.
love the poem, we do nothing at all...
You've pretty much wrapped it all up in 55 words! Happy Haloween to you and all the farm critters.
Great Halloween poem . . .
And Happy Halloween to you!
Nice!
The safety poem reads (to me anyway) like a condom commercial. I approve! :)
awesome critter capture!!
Perfectly delightful!
sad ending, that a small spider's life.
clever, lilting poem - perfect for the day it celebrates.
I keep on picturing a bunch of creatures standing in front of a toaster. ;-D
Hope your Halloween was wonderful.
Interesting to read of a little more than pumpkins and 'trick or treat'. Not really an Aussie tradition, though the kids do dress up and come begging for treats.
Truly wonderful words, for this most special of events!
Once you read my post of today, (Tuesday) you'll now how my Halloween celebration went!
So perfect for Halloween - hope you had a good one.
All the best Jan
