Remembering Halloween

Remembering Halloween

By Paul McCann

I remember Halloween when I

walked unseen round the street .

I remember when I dressed up

like a ghost under a sheet .

I remember wearing false faces

to give people a fright .

I remember telling tales

of things that went bump in the night .

I remember toffee apples ,

fairy floss and apple cakes .

I remember sherbet fountains ,

red lips and peanuts on plates  .

I remember Halloween songs

and the goose was getting fat .

I remember the man

who had a penny in his old hat .
