Poem
I met friends at ten o'clock for our rendezvous so we could attend a Halloween party at the zoo. What weird costumes and sights came into view! Three wrinkled witches were stirring a bubbly brew. One of them offered us eyeballs of newts to chew. "Oh," I replied. "I think I'll pass on trying the stew." That hag cursed at me like a nagging old shrew. We walked down a dark road called, Goblin Avenue when over our heads, twenty vampire bats flew. Zombies drooled near us while standing in a queue as if waiting in that line so they could use the loo! On we ventured, until I stepped in a pile of goo that turned out to be bloody guts on my shoe. I was getting frustrated, and about to cry, "Oh, Pooh!" because my Frankenstein mask had lost a neck screw but I was able to fix it with a dab of crazy glue. We passed people dancing while practicing voodoo, chanting mysterious words that sounded like hoodoo. They transformed a slithering snake into a kangaroo who charged at us to fight, using moves of Kung Fu. This place was creepy and everything was cuckoo. We ran until we could hide behind an elephant statue. Thought we'd be safe there until it started to spew yucky stuff from its trunk that smelled like mildew. Good gosh, we stunk. So, now what should we do? Searched for an exit, but where it was we had no clue Just then we were assaulted by a screaming cockatoo! Then we were surrounded by ghosts, shouting, "BOO!" and heard the hungry howling of a werewolf, a lougarou. Somehow we escaped from that horrendous hullabaloo!
