Black Cats and Pumpkins

Black cats are out at Halloween
And pumpkins are there to be seen
The thrill of spooky unlit night
The chill of almost every sight
Means Halloween is here at last
And thoughts are churning of the past
Like when your parents long ago
Did see the ghosts they know 'twas so
And have you heard those stories long
That whispered thru the wind's own song?
Just ask them and they'll pass them on
And you will know them before dawn!
