THE MONSTER MASH!!

Whoa! Don't you hate when life gets in the way of the fun stuff? Sorry for the delay!! Without further ado....

This Halloween was exciting---

How far away, I did roam!
To Pennsylvania, downtown NYC, and a theater party,
and then, back home!

When I opened my door, though, something didn't seem right...
I heard noises in the darkness,
and then saw eyes, shining bright!
I shivered in the darkness, then turned on the light!

And there all around me, surrounding me in a flash
Were the craziest monsters, in a Monster Mash!!

The night was cold, and the moon was high,
As monsters, devils, and witches surrounded me--oh, my!

There were SCARY MONSTERS!
