The Halloween Ride of Maggie O’Lear*
Listen, dear readers, and you shall hear
Of the Halloween ride of Maggie O’Lear,
On the 31st of October in twenty nineteen;
Hardly a sign can still be seen
Of that autumn trip of the wicked seer.
On a dark night, to Olde Town she came
To foretell such deeds that filled all with fright
Death and destruction and more of the same.
She foretold disaster before dawn brought light.
One death or two, a dozen times four,
She screeched and she hollered and threatened some more,
Then Ari, Andreas, Rayne and Nicholas too
Called magic to bath her in sticky blue goo,
She’s gone now, so sorry, with a final boo hoo.
