A HALLOWEEN LIMERICK

Jasper, the ghost, refuses to float.
Over water, his stomach would bloat.
Nightshades took pity-
Takes him to the city.
Cruising across the moat by boat.

Vincent roams the skies by night,
foraging for flower nectar to bite.
The flowers all hid,
afraid of this kid.
Vanishing by morning’s light..

Nettie, the spider, tosses silk threads.
The wind carries her over the farmstead.
Free to roam,
for a new home.
Spinning her web by the woodshed.

Pumpkin Pete sits in a patch, grim.
He wishes for a face that would grin.
Along came a farmer,
who's a great carver!
Beaming at guests entering the inn.

Shelton Bones travels by scooter
never honking the horn tooter
Ghosts cry yoohoo,
bats screech boohoo.
Skidding downhill, he runs over Rooster.

Luna wishes to fly by moonlight
seeks a moonbeam to steady her flight.
sleight hullabaloo
incoming cockatoo
Tail-spinning, Luna flies till midnight.
