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.
