I was noticing strange things of late
that did cause me to debate
if I indeed am of sound mind
my cupcakes have gone spooky, I find...
my domocile is creepy like ~
it could give a girl a bit of a fright
so to clear my mind I take a walk...
but get the feeling of being stalked.......
and then, I thought I went the wrong way~
As evidenced by old stone graves
but...wasnt this just my front lawn?
To an unknown place I find myself drawn..
I stop at the foot of a mysterious tree
for there's a chair....with a head.....who speaks to me!
I am the Hallow's Eve Skull King
Grab a party hat, and with me sing
to the path of hallow's eve we shall go!
There, a gypsy we all know
{for whom in the desert pumpkins grow}
and witches come from east and west
to join in the once a year fest
so pack your cauldron and your broom
to A Fanciful Twist should you zoom!
~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~*
Then he laughed til he coughed
almost fell out of his chair-
and I noticed some spirits lurking there,
{of the distilled liquor variety}
And decided the designated broom driver would be me.
So I looked round and found a broom
So, Twinkleghouls, hop on! There's plenty of room~
Away we go to Arizona Bizarre
To celebrate with you, WHOOOoever you are! :)
PS. HOLD IT! DON'T ROLL CREDITS YET!
Thing thinks you should know
before you go
of a lovely new tradition
it's "All Hallow's Read"
and the trick is the treat
give someone a scary book rendition!
So attending my party makes you my friend
and on Hallow's Eve when the party ends
a random # generator will choose one of you to send
A BOOOk by Neil Gaiman!
cackle cackle...loved when he almost feel out of his chair! Come see me, I'm having a giveaway at my party!
