The witching hour approaches
But Hattie's still out
Hunting for the pumpkins
That have been left about
Hurry Hattie Hurry !
The darkest hour draws near
You must be safe at home
before the spooks appear!
But Hattie she's not frightened
She's seen it all before
She's got younger brothers
so she'll say no more!
So Hattie keeps on looking
and wandering about
Still an hour left
before she'll hear a shout
Then indoors she's hurry
and make the pumpkin pies
then settle by the fire
The TV before her eyes
And there she'll watch her favourite
a special film of note
The one with that tall gangly lad
The Pumpkin king ! that bloke!
She'll watch him take over Christmas
she'll watch it all go wrong
She'll watch every second
as she sings along
Then once the film is over
She'll wander up the stairs
There's many little brothers
Just waiting to be SCARED!

I found this photo of the Jack Pumpkin king That Lindsey carved a couple of years back , so thought I'd add it here.
Happy Halloween....
