October ends with Halloween
A pointless celebration.
For ghosts and ghouls do not exist
‘cept in imagination.
All Hallows Eve, its proper name
The night before all saint’s day.
To celebrate the saints of old
And I would just like to say.
Halloween is just not us,
Imported from the States.
And of the many things that come our way,
It’s not one of the greats.
So you can keep your Halloween,
Your pumpkins, trick or treat.
Frightening the old and frail,
That live along our street.
We can’t abide your Halloween,
and we don’t want it here.
It’s not the ghosts who frighten me
It’s God the one I fear.
About me…

We spent last All Hallows in Victoria Point, just south of Brisbane. Saw it all there as well. 😀

Agreed! Halloween is just not us either in Australia, although it is taking hold unfortunately.
