It was a lovely day not a cloud in the sky,
When all of a sudden I saw with my eye
A parade of creatures some scary some not,
Till the school filled up with a nefarious lot
One by one they came tumbling on in,
till it was bats in the belfry and various Tales Grimm.
“What’s happening here?” I let out a wail
trying hard not to step on the aardvark’s tail.
“You want to know, what’s the matter?”
Boomed a voice, sending all of the creatures a scatter…
It’s a day of Tricks and maybe some Treats,
“Not to worry” said she,” I’ve got this lot beat”
They’ll all settle down and stop running round
‘Cause monsters have soft spots for stories I’ve found
Hay for arms and a floppy red hat,
She settled them down on the fall colored mat.
One by one they quieted, enchanted by prose,
Though a few of them were sitting, just playing with toes
As I turned around once and looked back twice
I could see that the scene was turning out nice.
They were just little children dressed for some fun
What’s wrong with me? I wondered
How had this all begun?
I guess I’d forgotten how to have fun.
So I gathered my things and tipped toed on out
I didn’t want to be such a cantankerous old lout.
I flew to the north where the pumpkins do grow
And filled my mind with a colorful glow,
I’ll be back by Wednesday as most of you know!
Happy fall!
Peace & Light,
Grace
