Halloween Poem - Photos

Saturday, October 30, 2021

‘Ween Theme

Who’s that knocking at my door?
Who is it shakes me to the core?
Goblins, gremlins, goosey ganders galore,
A moose, a mouse, midgets and more.


It’s tough on a witch this Halloween week
When scary beings their nourishment seek.
It’s hard on old muscles, my bones how they creak,
Up and down trips to the pantry – SHRIEK!


Now here’s a bad bunch of bumpkins for sure,
Looking so sweet, innocent and pure,
Holding out bags, sacks and socksies to fill.
Look out! I think I’m going to be ill.

Thank Jaspers by crackers it’s near the last night
Of that meddling, peddling, door-belling rite.
No more giggling, wiggling, gaggles of goons.
Of course not until next year’s harvest moon.

Halloween is almost here - ghoulies and ghosties

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Halloween in Sheridan Heights

Tuesday, October 19, 2021

This view is fairly benign

Except for the giant skeletons

This view gives some perspective on the height and menace

Then there are the zombies, just barely being held back by the wire fence.

This family in the 16200 block of 37th NE in Sheridan Heights (Lake Forest Park) goes all out for Halloween. They have brought out all the favorites from last year and added a few new elements, like giant skeletons.
