Where is Peter? October 22, 2008

,

Peter wasn’t keen on ghouls.

He wasn’t fond of ghosts.

He screamed when he heard poltergeists,

he hated them the most.
,

And when I mentioned Hallowe’en

he shivered and he shook.

I said “come out on trick or treat!”

He gave me such a look.

,

November 1st I went to school

and Peter wasn’t there.

Where could that Peter Pumpkin be?

Does anybody care?

,

I’ve just heard something horrible.

I think I’m going to cry.

They chopped him up, it’s terrible.

They put him in a pie!
