HALLOWEEN #PoetryByFionaCummings


HALLOWEEN

BY FIONA CUMMINGS

 You think I’m the little old lady from down the street?

Well on Halloween I’m a frail old woman you don’t want to meet

Smells from my kitchen

A magic potion

 Boiled bones

My oven groans

What’s inside?

Let’s say people cried

Why not come to mine?

Don’t slip on the slime

If you do

Expect the worst to happen to you

Cat’s tails

And dogs poo

Unshelled garden snails

And soup from my loo

A glass of punch

For a grizzly lunch

Where is my hat

And my broom   

My cape and special bag

I’m coming to see you soon

Down your garden path

 On your door a rat a tat tat

Open with care

My treats I will share

Dip in if you dare?
