Interesting to read of a little more than pumpkins and 'trick or treat'. Not really an Aussie tradition, though the kids do dress up and come begging for treats.
So perfect for Halloween - hope you had a good one.

for Imaginary Garden With Real ToadsFlash 55 Plus
Black cats and witches
grave yards and ghosts
vampire bats and goblins
all stand to make a toast
Give the beggars sweet cakes
so they will pray for your soul
many main traditions
began so very long ago
Don't be scared
but hold your breath
we have fun giving life
to a celebration of death

No matter how you celebrate,
or if you do at all,
Remember, to wrap your fun in safety
and hope you haveĀ a ball.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

You've pretty much wrapped it all up in 55 words! Happy Haloween to you and all the farm critters.

Nice!
The safety poem reads (to me anyway) like a condom commercial. I approve! :)

I keep on picturing a bunch of creatures standing in front of a toaster. ;-D
Hope your Halloween was wonderful.
