A Halloween Tale of Terror


One All Hallow's Eve, 'neath the silvery moon


on a night meant for witches in flight,


two children went looking for treats at the door


of a house that just didn't look right.


Their knees started shaking because they both knew


jack o' lanterns don't light on their own,


but these jacks were burning


right there in the yard...


the GRAVE yard––where


ghosts moan and groan.


The kids dropped their candy


and ran for the street,


but the bats didn't want them to go.


Swarms swooped from the sky


with a trio of ghosts


and a witch, flying in the moon's glow.


Those kids ran as fast and as far as they could


from that frightful old house on their street.


But they never were heard from again...No, not once.


Are you ready to go trick-or-treat?

it is so fun to see you connect with your grandchildren. I absolutely love seeing you with them. They are three extremely fortunate children to have you and Dave for their grandparents. Of course you are lucky too.
