Halloween At Last
Halloween At Last
Poor little Johnny, who died only last week,
he didn’t mind - he was ever so meek;
but what really hurt him and made him feel sad,
he missed Halloween and the chance to be bad.
He haunted each night in the same old streets,
wailing and moaning and dressed up in sheets.
The other ghosts listened and they understood -
poor Johnny was only expressing his mood.
They came to him then with a clever idea,
“You need a friend to possess and be here,”
and Johnny latched on to his little dog Stan,
who knew him at once and accepted his plan.
Now each Halloween they go forth as one
amongst trick or treaters and all having fun,
from house to house and fast on their feet,
go Johnny and Stan collecting their treats!
