Little Witches
Spells and potions,magic too,
These all make a witches brew
Toils and troubles, boils and bubbles,
These all get you into muddles.

Big pot burning on a fire high,
Flames reaching up intto the sky
Nights as black as a coal oven

Stars all shining in the sky
Black hat standing very high
Little kitten black as jet
Sitting as the witches pet

Children sitting in a row
watching the fire all aglow
Halloween is here once more
Trick or treating galore

Little witches faces glowing
Tiredness, their bodies slowing
Time to do what mother said,
Time to go home to bed.
Sandra Rowell

When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween.

PUMPKIN
We bought a fat orange pumpkin,
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
and only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose,
a jagged mouth and two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
and we put a candle in,
Then lit it up
for all to see our jack-o-lantern grin.

**

A gypsy fire is on the hearth
Sign of the carnival of mirth;
Through the dun fields and from the glade
Flash merry folk in masquerade,
For this is Hallowe’en!

Halloween Magic

A bald-headed ghost drank some witches' brew
And on top of his head a strange thing grew.
It was pointed and tall and black as a bat
With stringy long hair where his head was flat.

The sad little ghost didn't want any hair
Or a black pointed hat so he said, "Witch beware!"
Then he chanted some words with a spell-casting switch
And gave Halloween Night a bald-headed witch!!
Barbara M. Hales

Black cats and pointy hats,
brooms gliding through the air.
A witch’s brew made just for you,
drink it if you dare!

**

**

When bats are flying across a sky so low,
and the night is lit by the full moon’s glow,
and ghosts and goblins can be seen on the street,
you know it’s time for Trick or Treat!

SNACKS

No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Snack
Put a vanilla wafer in the bottom of a foil cup cake liner.
Mix together 1/4 cup prepared vanilla pudding,
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice,
1 tablespoon canned pumpkin.
Spoon mixture onto "crust," add a dollop of whipping cream, and a candy pumpkin.
