      Happy Howling - Barbara Ann Horton

      For my daughter Catherine.

      CONTENTS

      ––––––––

      Beware little children

      When you go out tonight.

      Don’t stray too far

      From your own porch light.

      Most of the basic material a writer works   with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

      Willa Cather

      THE STORYTELLER

      Come sit beside me child.

      Closer, don’t be afraid.

      Let me tell you a tale of terror,

      A fable of fear.

      You’re not scared are you?

      You needn’t be.

      For I will be right here with you.

      Here, take my hand.

      I will hold you tight.

      I won’t let go...ever.

      Poor dear, your hand is cold.

      And you tremble.

      Come near to me child.

      Let me warm you with my fire.

      There. That’s better, isn’t it?

      Now, sit back.

      Relax, if you can.

      Close your eyes, if you dare.

      And listen.

      ~~~

      PUMPKINS

      ––––––––

      Pumpkin pie.

      Pumpkin bread.

      Pumpkin sauce.

      Pumpkin spread.
