How strange and eerie is this night All Hallows’ Eve bathed in moonlight Little ones go from street to street Looking for something sweet to eat Over the rooftops fly the witches While zombies crawl from deep, dark ditches Excited shouts now fill the air Everyone knows just what to wear Nobody wants to be a square
Hyperactive little brats At the door like rabid rats Listen to them scream and shout Look at them run all about Over lawn and flower bed With sugar lust in their head Every child has become wild Even the most meek and mild Now I wish they would play dead
Oh I dont know about silly, I think your'e pretty much on target with this write.
We dont celebrate Halloween, but for those that do, here in OZ its not much of a deal, except for a few kids running around tricking and treating, and getting watered by our popup sprinklers hehe.
Fabulous Regis....Halloween was never celebrated in the UK and now it is....for those of us that have never grown up with this it can be somewhat daunting and for the elderly it is even worse...great acrostics...best wishes Andrea

LOL Regis....great acrostic and you rhymed it as well...well done!
I enjoyed very much :-)
Glad you didn't try another 'HALLOWEEN' you were starting to get a bit macabre and probably going the scare the bejeebies out of those little randy rowdy rug ruining rats. ;-).
Regis
this great loved the ending,
know what you mean
If you run Out of candy
don't answer the door to tell them so
or beware
Just place a note on the door
and hide.....lol
an excellent write

Good grief, Regis! Have you any idea how very difficult it is to pull one of these off with this much coherence and downright fun?! You, my friend, have a unique gift for these. Not one line is forced to fit in... it flows, one letter to the next, never missing a beat, never shying from just the right rhyme. I'm impressed! never be afraid to do "just plain silly"... when it's done well, it's a real joy. THIS is a 'real joy'... Great stuff! katy xox. p.s. I'm determined to try one of these but don't expect to pull it off as well as you do.
My family think I'm so cruel, because I, in the past, have treated like with like and sent kids away screaming from our house when they come to call!!! All good clean fun!! That'll teach'em to call when I haven't put my make-up on! Guess "the witching season" brings out the worst in all of us, Regis, but there's nothing except a rollocking good romp in this one that is lighthearted and purely delightful. Plain blood-sugar madness! TY LOL Kate xx
Now this is scary! So glad my two are long past the hyperactive, raving, sugar-high, lunatic stage. Hugs, Reg.
