Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

On the day before Halloween,

Sir Chocolate was really busy,

Making candy and chocolate treats,

So fast it would make you dizzy.

*

Edible spiders and caterpillars,

A set of shortbread fingers,

His gingerbread tombstones

with a spicy smell that lingers.

*

His warehouse was completely full

with every kind of treat and snack,

Jelly bones and bloodshot eyeballs,

All piled up high in a stack.

*

That night Sir Chocolate felt weary,

As into bed he did climb,

Only one more day to go,

Until trick or treating time.

*

The next day poor Sir Chocolate

was awakened by a shout,

His warehouse had been raided,

By some mean and thieving lout.

*

Sir Chocolate was devastated,

His hard work was all gone,

Except for one shiny bat wing,

That on the empty floor shone.

Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet

Searched from low to right up high,
