I could not get to sleep,
I could not sleep, boo-hoo-hoo.
I could not get to sleep
so after night number two
I went to extremes
I dug out my old rocking chair
from storage in the extra room
I kinda keep old clothes there.

I finally realize
that I can’t believe my eyes
when I’m looking in the mirror
the image ain’t always clearer.
Excuse me
for not being witty
today.
Melancholy
describes me
today.
No more celebration,
or anticipation
today.
It can’t stay
so tucked away
today.
As for me,
I feel gloomy
Today.
Just today, see.
I will be happy
tomorrow.

Right next door to me
there lived a celebrity.
You may have heard of him before –
he always takes flight on night 24.
Counting days on the calendar
to that fourth Thursday in November….
Everyone is coming
gathering from far and near
to celebrate the gift of thanks
because it is the best day of the year.
I used to think, gee
I’m as smart as smart can be.
But now I see
I’m a lot less of a smarty
and even the smarts that used to be inside me
We have been told
the cautionary story
warning us of pride
that befell the Marsh family.
All Hallows’ Eve –
the night when souls of the dead roam.
and also haunt –
the place they once called their home.
