BEWARE

Halloween Limerick

Painting by Artist Celia Krampien - from the Reiki Cat Lady

For the Vocal Social Society painting prompt challenge, I have written a Halloween Limerick.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Mademoiselle heard the front door bell.

Magic, the cat, listened to her spell.

Children wearing costumes

moved away from door fumes.

Beware of Halloween tricks, do tell.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Author's notes:

My children and grandchildren have always enjoyed dressing up for Halloween. Unfortunately, a Halloween Urban Legend was taken seriously by my dad. While there are many urban legends associated with Halloween, it was the razor blade candy legend story.

As for my age, my guess is six or seven. Clueless as to what I dressed up as. Definitely remember being punished afterward because we went trick or treating on Halloween. Nevertheless, as a child, never went trick or treating again.

Have a fun and safe Halloween.

Thank you for reading! You are appreciated!
