In memory of A.L.
When dead leaves crackle
Across the ground,
And the moon is large,
And full and round,
You'd best watch out
For the Devil's cat,
He'll cook you up,
In a pot o' fat.
He's iron teeth,
And smokes a pipe
And he'll eat children
Rotten or ripe.
So you'd best watch out
When you're trick or treatin'
It's one wrong step
And you'll be eaten.
