Poem for October 17
Halloween Pals
A happy little fellow
Sat on my fence one night.
His smile was full and wide-
A most amazing sight!
He said to me, “I’m yours for keeps,
I hope you’ll like me fine.
I’ve watched you now for weeks and weeks,
While growing on my vine.
Just put me in your window
When the night time rolls around.
I promise that I’ll glow for you,
And never make a sound.
I’ll be your friend forever.
We’ll be happy as can be.
For I’m your jack-o’-lantern,
And you’re just right for me.”
