Rita bustled busily, To decorate each room With jack-o'-lanterns, giggling ghouls, And grinning ghosts with dribbled drools, And moonlight glimmered spookily On ghastly painted tombs; She went to fetch her costume And hoped it wouldn't itch; She grabbed a strange and pointed hat, An odd shaped broom, a stuffed black cat, And in the mirror of her room She turned into a witch! A sudden tap-tap-tapping Came from her green front door; She opened it excitedly, A-wondering who it might be And then she started clapping And dancing on the floor! Her good friend Fox was outside, He wore a long black cape; With plastic fangs, he danced about, But when he sang his fangs fell out! They laughed so hard, then went inside And had a slice of cake!

Rita's Halloween Party
Rita bustled busily, To decorate each room With jack-o'-lanterns, giggling ghouls, And grinning ghosts with dribbled drools, And moonlight glimmered spookily On ghastly painted tombs; She went to fetch her costume And hoped it wouldn't itch; She grabbed a strange and pointed hat, An odd shaped broom, a stuffed black cat, And in the mirror of her room She turned into a witch! A sudden tap-tap-tapping Came from her green front door; She opened it excitedly, A-wondering who it might be And then she started clapping And dancing on the floor! Her good friend Fox was outside, He wore a long black cape; With plastic fangs, he danced about, But when he sang his fangs fell out! They laughed so hard, then went inside And had a slice of cake!
For Joe Cole's "MAGIC" challenge. Originally inspired by Joe Cole's "Freedom" challenge, the story of Rita continues!
