WHY COULDN'T THE WITCH HAVE CHILDREN?

 

Why couldn't the witch have children?

It wasn’t just because she was a meanie

The answer is far more fundamental

Because her husband had a hallow weenie

ARE YOU WEARING A POINTY HAT?

 

Are you wearing a pointy hat?

And you don’t get fed up with that

When they ask about your wizard hat

“Does your head reach the top of that?”

IF VAMPIRES CAN’T SEE THEIR OWN REFLECTION

 

If vampires can’t see

Their own reflection

In a mirror or anything else

That’s shiny

Then the thing I

Have always wondered is

How do they manage?

To keep their hair tidy?

ARE YOU WEARING A HALLOWEEN WAISTCOAT?

 

Are you wearing a Halloween waistcoat?

Oh I like the way the buttons glow

And the whole thing luminesces

It really is very Edgar Allan Poe

EVERYONE WANTS CANDY ON HALLOWEEN

 

Everyone wants Candy on Halloween

As they march on their trick or treat patrol

But the only Candy that interests me

Will be swinging on a silver pole

THE WITCHING HOUR

 

On All Hallows Eve take special care

You may not see them but they are there

And as they mix up their witches brew

They’ll have their witchy eyes on you
