The Spooky King and Spooky Queen
Thought that it would be such fun
If they held a Halloween Party
And invited friends to come.
“Spooks Palace is so gloomy.
But we’ll see what can be done,
To make our Spooky Palace
A place for having fun.”
They painted giant footprints
Which led up to their door.
And made lots of pumpkin lanterns –
Which was really quite a chore.
They made ghostly little figures,
Which floated through the air;
And such delicious things to eat,
Which took ages to prepare.
“Let’s make a jug of beetle juice,
And a monster munchy pie.
Some little witches’ broom sticks
And some spiders’ legs we’ll fry.”
The Spooky King and Spooky Queen
Said: “Our ghosts can come and play –
But do you think that all this partying
Might drive our bats away?”
The night arrived, the children came –
Their costumes looked a treat.
Witches, ghosts and skeletons
Came tripping down the street.
The party was a great success –
They ate and drank and played.
The ghosties seemed to come and go,
While the lanterns gently swayed.
By ten o’clock they were all so tired –
And thanked the King and Queen.
Then went off home quite quickly
To dream some spooky dreams.
