As a rule-
It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.
.
Everything is brand new-
With new friends, to acrue.
.
New teachers and a new place-
Time to get comfortable, in this
unfamiliar place.
.
New school supplies, that must be put away-
For use later, on another day.
.
To grit one’s teeth, to make the day through-
To finally go home, and say a big whew.
.
For the second day will be A-ok-
We know where we’re going, because
we went through all of that on the first day.
.
As a rule-
It is a bit scary, on the first day of school.

Sometimes researching history, can get a bit scary-
For you get to know, how exactly, it used to be.

I looked out the window and what did I see?
But a head with a bunch of hair, that was quite scary.
.
It wasn’t there last night, so I just did not know-
How it came about and how it came to be so.
.
Surely it must not be real and was here for a good reason-
Especially since this was the fall and Halloween season.
.
I couldn’t stand to look at it any more-
For it scared me, as in the wind, it began to soar.
.
The next morning I looked out the window and partook in a big sigh-
For I saw Mama’s mop and handle, on the clothesline, that she had hung out to dry.
.
I looked out the window and what did I see?
But a head with a bunch of hair, that was quite scary.

The children looked forward to Halloween-
For all types of costumes would be seen.
.
There would be scary ones and fun ones too-
There would be new ones and old ones, to pass through.
.
The neighborhood that is, for that is where the fun would take place-
As far as they could remember, that was always the case.
.
Going from house to house, to collect a lot of candy-
Filling their bags, that always came in handy.
.
Screaming trick or treat, is what would be popular that night-
With adults opening the door, with lots of treats on site.
.
The children looked forward to Halloween-
For all types of costumes would be seen.
