Celebrate The Dead

Celebrate the Dead
by: DW

I am so excited about tonight because it's the scariest night all year.
Halloween!!

I jump out of my bed and ran out the front door to get the morning paper for my dad. As I leaned over to pick it up I noticed
in the bush next to where the paper landed, the suns brilliant rays
twinkling through the morning dew on a spiders web.
It has a caterpillar caught up in the center all wrapped up like a mummy.
The spider must be saving it for its dinner soon.
I thought to myself, poor caterpillar. Now it will never have a chance to become a beautiful butterfly, but at least the spider gets to eat.

I was eager to check tonight's weather report. On the bottom of the front page is a section just for the weather.
It says; it is going to be a perfect night for the ghosts and witches to come out for the festivities.

There will be a cool breeze in the air all day and by the evening it will turn chilly with a bright
Full Moon for celebrations.

So before the ghosts, ghouls and goblins begin lurking about,
and the witches come flying around,
be careful where you step.
It may be a yelp,
coming from the underground.

And remember to keep your dearest pets inside for the night.
You wouldn't want a lost kitten or puppy
to become missing by mornings light.
"Have a Good Night and Celebrate The Dead."
