Helps and hints for Hallowe'en

by Laura Rountree Smith

Through the woods today my way I lost;

This self-same thing I oft discover,

In October the summer’s over.

Though elves come tripping o’er the green,

I’m the only Jack upon the scene.

Witch:

Ha, ha, ha, on Hallowe’en,

Ghosts and elves are often seen;

And many a Jack trips o’er the green,

Ha, ha, ha, on Hallowe’en!
