Eastern Jackson County, MO —
Ah Yes! It is an eerie scene,
Those ghost and goblins of Halloween.
With a rap, rap upon my door,
Tis spooks… two…three, maybe more.
In stature they are quite petite,
As they demand their trick or treat.
Fearing not to obey their stated wish,
I scurried to the kitchen for my goodie dish.
Thankfully that bowl was not bare,
As then I could give each an equal share.
For ghostly creatures they seemed quite polite,
As they quickly scampered into the night.
