Happy Halloween

'Twas the day of Halloween and all through the house
was eagerness and anticipation of a young pumpkin and mouse

The day was spent carving pumpkins galore
and roasting pumpkin seeds, but they still wanted more



So deeper into the mountains, to Leadville, they went
where an evening of trick-or-treating among locals was spent

It was the mouse's first, and unsure what to do,
she squeaked "Happy Halloween!" and then she surely knew



'Cause out came the candy, which the mouse keenly eyed
and as it went in her bag, those eyes opened wide

"I got candy!" squeaked the mouse to the young pumpkin looking on
then she grabbed grandma's hand to drag her along



To the very next house where it happened again
and to the ones after that 'til it came to an end



Then, the exhilarated mouse relished in all the sweet treats
of chocolates and candies and other goodies to eat

When asked if she enjoyed her first Halloween
the little mouse squeaked "YES! I do it again!"

The eagerness and anticipation subsided at last
from having such a Halloween blast

And, later that night, arriving back at the house
were two contented kids- one a pumpkin and one a mouse.



Happy Halloween!
