Halloween
By punchy
14 October 2007



Do you reckon the Queen celebrates Halloween?
Imagine her hands and her face painted green.

I wonder if Phillip is carving the pumpkin
Or making a wizards hat out of a napkin.
 
How funny if Charles is wearing a  mask
And chasing and scaring the maids as they pass.

Imagine if Andrew puts on a  black cloak
And tells spooky tales, while surrounded with smoke.

And out trick or treating is Edward Count Dracula
Performing on doorsteps his drama spectacular.

Then back at the palace they each tell a story,
Of ghastly encounters all horrid and gory.

And after a feast  the queen makes a toast
to Buckingham Palace's resident ghost.

                                                           Surprised

Hi Punchy 
 
I think this is the best one yet - I would love to see this really happen, made me laugh.

This is definitely your best poem, and very funny. Have you sent a copy to Buckingham Palace? I think the Queen would love it.

Thankyou for your lovely comments. i read this to my daughters friends and they informed me that the queen definately doesn't celebrate halloween because she's too posh but my children are convinced she does as am I !
