night! With what wistful look did he eye every trembling ray of light streaming across the
waste fields from some distant window! How often was he appalled by some shrub covered with
snow, which, like a sheeted specter, beset his very path! How often did he shrink with
curdling awe at the sound of his own steps on the frosty crust beneath his feet; and dread
to look over his shoulder, lest he should behold some uncouth being tramping close behind
him! and how often was he thrown into complete dismay by some rushing blast, howling among
the trees, in the idea that it was the Galloping Hessian on one of his nightly scouring!
- - - Washington Irving (a quote from "The Legend of Sleep Hollow")


Others are not,
Like ghosts and goblins,
And things that rot
Cats and dogs are not scary
At all,
All they do is play chase
And catch a ball.
But the scariest thing
Creeps around at night,
Looking for victims
To scratch and bite.
It hides its face
It's too ugly to see,
It rules all the monsters,
Both tall and wee.
Those who've seen his face,
Their eyes burst and bleed,
They beg for mercy
"Spare us, spare us," they plead.
But he's not a giver
He takes what he finds,
All sorts of people
Both sightseers and blind.
Some things are scary
Others are not,
Like ghosts and goblins,
And things that rot
Cats and dogs are not scary
At all,
All they do is play chase
And catch a ball.
But the scariest thing
Creeps around at night,
Looking for victims
To scratch and bite.
It hides its face
It's too ugly to see,
It rules all the monsters,
Both tall and wee.
Those who've seen his face,
Their eyes burst and bleed,
They beg for mercy
"Spare us, spare us," they plead.
But he's not a giver
He takes what he finds,
All sorts of people
Both sightseers and blind.
You've got the picture,
That he is the king
Of everything scary,
Every little scary thing.
So watch out at night 'cause if
By him you're seen,
He'll give you an evil grin
And say...
HAPPY HALL
That he is the king
Of everything scary,
Every little scary thing.
So watch out at night 'cause if
By him you're seen,
He'll give you an evil grin
And say...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
