Illo by Roy Coker
Here's a goblin's dozen verses for Halloween to be posted between now and Halloween it's own self, 2009. What? You say you don't see any goblins dozen of them? It must be before Halloween. Come back tomorrow and you'll find another. And another the day after that, and so on until Halloween, when the feature ought to be complete. Meanwhile, you're certainly welcome to read what's there. And don't forget to come back.
Part the First (Minus Thirteen and Counting)
LET'S HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARTY

And Other Creatures of the Night
Let's have a trick or treat bash.
We'll have a punch made from pumpkins.
And we'll dance the monster mash.
Let's invite ghosts, ghouls and goblins.
Ask the headless horseman, too.
Go ahead and invite everybody.
Just don't forget to invite me and you.
Let's do a Halloween countdown
We'll go from thirteen down to one.
Let's have some Halloween poems
To start off all the Halloween fun.
Jerry
