Halloween

Are you going to a Halloween party?
No? Well, mate, it doesn’t matter.
But would you like to pay some visits
And meet every Halloween character? 

1. Come into my home!
Enjoy the party of blood;
Let me kiss your neck
As a sign of sick love.
2. Fly into my home on a broom!
Let’s make a lot of frightful potions;
Have fun in my spelling room;
Study your spells and learn your lessons.
3. Don’t bring a dog into my home,
I need to protect my bones!
Learn my new dance steps,
And sing in different tones.
4. Come into my home of darkness!
People with no body you’ll find;
Lost souls wailing in sadness,
Each one of us a death of a kind.

5. If you come into my home,
When it’s full moon!
You’ll find nothing but a wolf
Meaning to scare you soon.

Who am I? 1. Vampire; 2. Witch; 3. Skeleton; 4. Ghost; 5. Werewolf.

Poem: The Boogeyman

I hear a strange sound
Lurking in the dark
It’s almost midnight
Get ready
For here comes the fight

He’s crawling near me
Dripping red eyes
Filled with nothing but hatred
Rage and lies

But where does he come from
Where can he be found?
All I know is that tonight
I’m bringing him down

I look for him
Inside in
Inside out
But I can’t seem to find
His damn hideout

Oh where can it be?
This ghoul I can’t see
This beast inside of me

His name as stuck fear
In the brave one’s eyes
Has made the great ones
Weep in innumerous cries

And he’s called THE BOOGEYMAN!

Halloween Party at E. B. 2, 3 João de Meira

If you’re in Year 9, you can’t escape your fate.

Come to our party on October 31st, 2008!

There will be music, decorations and treats,

Join us in fun but – remember – be aware

The creatures of fright will also be there!

So hold on, hold on with all your might

And do what it takes to survive the night.

Don’t disappear on us!

We’re dying to see you!
