The Day After Halloween

Day After Halloween

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.
It’s a Halloween sale:
A nickel a pail
For skeletons, spirits and haunts.

Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
More than most anyone wants.
Will you pay for a shock,

On skeletons, spirits and haunts. 

Shel Silverstein

 

Thanks for everything Halloween… only 364 days till I see you again!
