More Halloween Poetry
I learned a lot of Halloween songs and poetry when I was a child. Some of it was because my mom had been a grade school teacher and new a lot of songs she taught her kids. Halloween was one of our favorite holidays of the year.

Jack-o'-lantern trim you light,
Fairies come and dance tonight.
Skipping, skipping on the green.
Merry be your Halloween!
Witches ride their broomsticks tall.
Goblins out and black cats all.
Let your gayest tricks be seen.
Merry be your Halloween!

Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches across the sky,
And jack-o'-lanterns can be seen . . .
Tonight is Halloween.
Boo!

Five little jack-o'-lanterns sitting on a gate.
The first one said, "My, it's getting late."
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "I don't care!"
The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
The fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run!"
OOOOOOOO went the wind.
OUT went the light.
And away rolled the jack-o'-lanterns into the night.
~~~
Then there were all the Peanuts pumpkin carols, set to the tunes of Christmas songs. Which had me practicing Christmas music in October, so I was all practiced up come December.
