"The Mini Spooks"
It's the time of year
For goblins ~~ big and small.
Watch out for the mini spooks!
They're the peskiest ones of all.
They might be hiding in your pocket,
In the bottom bureau drawer,
At the toe of your sock.
Almost any place they think,
They're not likely to be caught!
They go about their mischief
Making not a sound.
Still, you'll know they've been there
By the tricks on those around.
They pull buttons off your coat,
Make the hinges creak,
Take your hankies,
Pinch your toes,
Cause ice cream cones to leak.
They rattle windows, mess your hair,
Stretch rubber bands til they snap.
Tip the milk, steal puzzle pieces,
And they don't stop with that!
Sometimes they're downright naughty,
In many mini ways.
They untie shoes, slam the door,
And hide the jacket that you know
You hung in place the night before.
Some stay around all year, they say,
But Halloween's their night to play.
Take care! Beware!
Of those wee little mini spooks,
Pulling on your costume,
Tearing the bottom of your sack,
Blowing out your Jack~O~Lantern
From somewhere behind your back
Don't be afraid ~~
Take a deep breath ~~
Turn around ~~ Face them ~~
That's the thing to do.
But all the while,
Be expecting a tiny little ~~
Boo!
