Halloween Warning

I knew an old woman
Who flew round the Moon
Wore a tall    pointed hat
And rode on a broom

She dressed all in black
Wore arrow-tipped shoes
Had a nose like a hook
Smelled always of booze

The kids on my block
And kids there were many
Thought her eccentric
Called her "Dear Granny"

One Halloween night
I remember the year
She counselled me  "Boy
They've plenty to fear

I love little kids
Little kids are life's breath
But on All Saint's Night
I love them to DEATH"!

When I heard her words
I ran like the wind
Yelling!        Telling
My friends to stay in!

"You've heard of a witch
Who flies round the Moon
Wears a tall    pointed hat
And rides on a broom

Is dressed all in black
Wears arrow-tipped shoes
Has a nose like a hook
Smells always of booze?

It's GRANNY    DEAR GRANNY!
I'm talking about
She's flying tonight
So all    WATCH OUT!"
