The Moon is bright:

By Uncle Butch

It's Halloween, the moon is bright

You just might see a witch tonight

Past the moon she just might fly

way up in the dark night sky

but if you see her on the ground

just sneak away, don't make a sound,

cause you know, she'd think it dandy,

if she could turn you into candy.

All the ghosts are out to play

and you don't want to try and chase them away

Just remember what I just said

and if they come hide under the bed.

There used to be a man who rode a horse,

he didn't have a head of course.

He rode that horse even in the rain

and scared the heck out of Ichabod Crane

So if there's a teacher who's mean to you

you don't have to hit him with a shoe.

Talk them into going in the woods at night

The headless horsemen will give them an awful fright.

This little rhyme is just my way

to introduce you, on this day

to a story I read as a little boy

a story that gave me a lot of joy.

I hope you read it and have some fun

and tell me all about it when you are done.

Reading is nice, reading is a joy,

for every little girl and boy

You don't have to look it up, you don't have to think

All you have to do is follow this link.
