Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
I gripped my fists
And ran in place,
stuck out my tongue
and squinched my face.
Made boo-boo lip
and slammed the door,
crossed my arms
and stomped the floor.
You tried to talk,
I ran and hid.
Why do you
treat me like a kid?

Ogres
and ghosts fly across the night Cats dressed in black, spring into sight Toothless witches waltz across the moon. Owls atop fence posts hoot WHO? WHO? Beasts and beauties beat upon doors Echoes of "Trick or Treat" soar to a roar Rest in peace! Halloween's over!
(and consequently so is October!)
