Is it Halloween yet?

Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, 

Turn this stupid fat rat yellow,

Follow the instructions, 

Mind you, very closely, 

Dust the cauldron, light the flames,

Clockwise, counter, clockwise again, 

Add an ounce of warmth, a pinch of ‘yay’,

Half a cup of the mild Midwest breeze,

Garnish with a tan, or freckles, as you please,

Bring to a simmer and serve with orange Popsicles, 

Clouds, puddles, a whales’ spleen,

Turn this jittery rabbit green,

Follow the instructions, 

Closely darling, 

Dust the cauldron, light the flames,

Clockwise, counter, clockwise again,  

Pour in the Sunday blues, the sitcoms too, 

And mix in the July forest petrichor,

Garnish with earthworms, fresh from their store,

Boil for an hour, and then serve with onion rings and chips,

Hail, icicles, Elmers Glue, 

Turn this no-good turtle blue, 

Follow the instructions, 

Mind you, very closely, 

Dust the cauldron, light the flames,

Clockwise, counter, clockwise again, 

Stir in the curse from Zeus, a pinch of the sun,

Chop up the blizzards and blend together with the flu,

Garnish with Mamas special shrimp and parsley stew,

Freeze overnight, serve with boiling hot coco,
