Halloween

Hay bales, pumpkins, costumes and more –

Carnival games and candy galore; 

With tricks, treats and everything sweet,

Highlands' Fall Festival cannot be beat!

 

Thousands of people will come, that's for sure;

But it's really the kids that we do it all for.

They'll be there in droves – in masquerade clothes

Having the time of their lives, as everyone knows.

 

Buzz Lightyear will be there, and a Batman, or two,

Mr. Incredible and Winnie the Pooh.

Belle and her friends will be there this night,

Cinderella, Jasmine and, of course, Snow White.

Darth Vadars, Tiggers and Black Cats will abound;

Devils and Angels will be easily found.

Spidermen, Vampires and Hobos in rags

Will play freely together, filling their bags.

 

There'll be Snickers, Skittles, Kit-Kats and Nerds,

Dum-Dum Lollipops and things that go squirt;

Starburst, Tootsies, worms and bears, oh so gummy,

And hundreds of other things good for the tummy.

Chocolates, Caramels and Gum Drops, too –

Peppermint Patties and a Charleston Chew,

M&Ms, Reese's, and the famed Baby Ruth

Will satisfy each and every sweet tooth.

 

After a few frenzied hours, it will come to an end;

But we'll set it up next year and do it again!

 

I'm off to man the Pumpkin Pitch booth…

 

Happy Halloween!  - M
