Every year I post my Halloween poems for those that want to read them.
But last year I didn't, couldn't, so this year I wrote a couple of new ones too.
They're pretty corny, but what do you expect from the weenie? Enjoy.

HARVEST TIME IN TENNESSEE
It's autumn time,
a little nip in the air,
the leaves are turning colors:
yellow, orange, and red, everywhere!
The wind is brisk,
cool and light,
the sun is shinning,
so very bright;
My little horses love the change
from a long hot summer,
snoozing under fans all day,
was such a bummer.
Hosed them down daily
for relief from it all-
the bugs were so annoying
they are so happy it's fall y'all!
It's time now, my little herd,
time to go out and play!
Stay outside and run
if you want to all day!
So out they went
on a great day like this,
running and jumping
it's just pure bliss!
And their colorations
are just like the leaves
shades of red and golden brown
and some black ones if you please
Nothing makes me smile
more than watching them at play;
my pretty little herd
thriving and growing every day.
The clouds are now gathering,
it started to rain
They are rolling in the mud
Their favorite game
Ok you little minis,
time to trot now back to the barn.
What is this I am seeing?
I am completely alarmed!
You've grown your winter coats
Just look at all that hair
You are all covered in mud
I am in total despair
Whatever shall I do with you
It's too chilly for a bath.
Out comes all the grooming tools,
ooh you can imagine my wrath.
So I brush and I brush
till my hands turn blue;
spot cleaning with a sponge,
and spraying on some goo.
Braid those tails
and put them in a bag;
oh my goodness,
someone’s tummy is starting to sag!
This is harvest time
in Tennessee.
I guess I'll just sit on the stool and groom
with a foal on each of my knees!

HALLOWEEN PROTECTION FOR YOUR FARM
It's October again that spooky time of the year,
when the ghosts and goblins are sure to appear.
There will be boos and there will be screams,
because it's the month......... of Halloween!
So if you want to protect your horses on your farm,
Heed this advice and there will be no harm:
You have to teach your little herd well,
just do as I say and it will be swell.
Sprinkle salt all around the fence line tonight;
Ghosts don't like it and they will fly back into the night.
Tie garlic on the horse's manes and tails;
this will ward off vampires, it never fails.
Tell the horses it's ok to kick and bite,
anything that looks like a scary fright.
Give the stallions silver bullets in a toy gun,
and watch the werewolves take off and run!
Tell the mares to get crabby and pin back their ears,
and snort at all the monsters as they begin to appear.
Have the broodmares stampede and chase them away
while the yearlings snorts hold them at bay.
Now it's not that hard to destroy Frankenstein,
so assemble the geldings to take him on this time.
And there you have it! Another Halloween gone by.
Opps! Was that a witch that just flew by???

SOMETHING IS IN THE BARN
Late last night and the night before
I heard a rapping on the barn door
Went out to check it and take a look-see
There wasn’t anything there, so what could it be?
There was a cool, cool brisk breeze
And it went sailing right though the trees
I heard a little giggle and then a chuckle
And the clink of a halter buckle
It went into the tack room and was flying all around
I couldn’t see it but I know it had to be found
It tipped over some buckets and the feed cans too
Now that got me scared and I was turning blue
There it went again with a whish and a whoosh
So I told the horses to hunker down and shoosh
Maybe it’s a bat or a bird of some sort
Until I heard that giggle again and then a big loud snort
Finally I could almost feel it and I trapped it in a feed can
Shoved the lid down and told him to “tell me what you are cause your in quite a jam”
“Oh please let me out” answered the little voice inside
I’m not here to hurt anyone just want to play seek and hide
“You know me my friend, and you know me very good
You all grew up with me, in everyone’s neighborhood
My name is CASPER and I’m the friendly ghost you see
Wishing you a Happy Halloween from friendly little me”
****************************************************
PUMPKIN WOES
I went to carve a pumpkin for Halloween night
Got out the knives and began to carve it up just right
Dug out all the seeds and the smelly inards too
Then I dropped it on the floor whatever shall I do
So I got another pumpkin to carve for Halloween night
Got out the knives and began to carve it up just right
Dug out all the seeds and the smelly inards too
Dropped it on the floor again whatever shall I do
So I got another pumpkin to carve for Halloween night
Saved me a bunch of trouble so I smashed it on the floor just right
Went on to good old Walmart and got a fake one that plugs in
Best darn job of carving I ever saw my good old fake pumpkin
******************************************************
VAMPIRE IN MY BARN
I heard him lurking about last night
He thought he’d give us all a fright
Little did he know my minis are brave
And we decided to send him back to his grave
There you are you very bad Vampire
Have a hit on this electric hot wire
Kick him Nick and kick him good
Kick him right out of our neighborhood
Come on Holly take a good bite
And Silver Belle hold onto him tight
Oh good, Noelle wants to fight the vampire too
Bite him Noelle since your little teeth grew
“Stop it stop it” hollered the vampire
“I promise I’ll go, I’m not a liar”
Ok minis, I said, let him go tonight
If he returns well know before first light
I’m so proud of my little herd now
They’ve challenged the vampire to a showdown and how
They’re tuff and brave and my redneck mountain dancers
That’s why I call them my Brave Little Prancers
***********************************************
HALLOWEEN IS COMING TO YOUR DOOR
It’s dark and chilly and rainy tonite
The night is black as pitch and filled with fright
I heard the goulies in the forest scream
Yes this is it, time for Halloween
The wind is howling through the trees
I hear the crackle and crunches of fallen leaves
The midnight hour is soon approaching
When the horrors of this night will be set in motion
Witches on their broomsticks will take flight
Flying off into this dark dark night
Soaring up towards the disturbed full yellow moon
As zomibes arise from their tombs
Werewolves emerge with fangs as hairy beasts
And Vampires select fair maidens for their next feast
Frankenstein trudges through the shadowy woods
The grim reaper hides within the crease of his hood
Jason and Freddy on the prowl in your nightmare too
Beware of Mike Myers lurking in your kitchen window
The Blob, The Fog, and Chuckie is near
On this Halloween night you have much to fear
So when you hear the Trick or Treaters approaching your porch stairs
You had better begin to say your prayers
They might not be little kids dressed up in costume
It maybe something else coming to seal your domb
But last year I didn't, couldn't, so this year I wrote a couple of new ones too.
They're pretty corny, but what do you expect from the weenie? Enjoy.
