October 23rd was not an abnormal morning by any stretch of the imagination;
That was until the Boys and Girls Club arrived and there was a fiendish celebration.
There were tiny cats, a Jedi too,
A Jamaican Harry Potter (formerly Mr.Lou),
Frankenstein’s daughter, skeletons and witches who
Served graham crackers and served up a witchy brew.
These goblins and ghouls ran around,
their spooky laughter an uplifting sound.
In the graveyard there were goblin guts, cemetery mash,
And eyeballs and intestines to smash.
There was a castle guarded by a geisha who
Smiled and took these spooky kids pictures too.
The Cookie Monster helped decorate some devilishly delicious cookies
Much to the delight of the little ones’ tummies.
In the other room a gypsy let them win
By putting the tail on a spooky cat with merely a pin.
Slithering snakes were made with googly eyes and glittery glue,
Later to be used to hold a place in a book or two.
Right next to this serpentine station,
a table of creepy coloring creation.
There was a corn hole game
With a prize of petrifying pencils and freaky fangs.
Snow White and a Jedi sat in the back
Their balloon making skills they certainly did not lack.
From station to station these little ones were sent
Gathering candy and treats as they went.
They sparred with swords of balloon
Until the clock chimed noon.
Then the spell was broken and they had to go
And went out the door like ducks in a row.
The amazing volunteers stayed near
And helped gather and clear
By one the rooms were spotless and bare
As if the small goblins and monsters had never been there.
