Here's a Halloween poem kids will love

Witches and Goblins and Ghosts, OH NO
By Sheilah Warner Blackledge

Out on a night called Halloween
I'm dressed like a dog and my mom's a queen
The sounds of ghosts make me turn green
I think I'll run, but instead I scream
The witch over there behind those trees
Put me and mama on our knees
A goblin grabbed me by the arm
It was my friend Jo who meant me no harm
Oh my, oh why do I want to go?
To hear witches and goblins and ghosts, OH NO!
