I loved that when I was in kindergarten...an early sign of my preoccupation with all things spooky:<br /><br />The Little Orphan Annie by<br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />Little Orphan Annie's come to my house to stay. <br />To wash the cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away. <br />To shoo the chickens from the porch and dust the hearth and sweep, <br />and make the fire and bake the bread to earn her board and keep. <br />While all us other children, when the supper things is done, <br />we sit around the kitchen fire and has the mostest fun, <br />a listening to the witch tales that Annie tells about <br />and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!<br /><br />Once there was a little boy who wouldn't say his prayers, <br />and when he went to bed at night away up stairs, <br />his mammy heard him holler and his daddy heard him bawl, <br />and when they turned the covers down, <br />he wasn't there at all! <br />They searched him in the attic room <br />and cubby hole and press <br />and even up the chimney flu and every wheres, I guess,<br />but all they ever found of him was just his pants and round-abouts<br />and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!<br /><br /><br />Once there was a little girl who always laughed and grinned <br />and made fun of everyone, of all her blood and kin, <br />and once when there was company and old folks was there, <br />she mocked them and she shocked them and said, she didn't care. <br />And just as she turned on her heels and to go and run and hide, <br />there was two great big black things a standing by her side. <br />They snatched her through the ceiling fore she knew what shes about, <br />and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!<br /><br /><br />When the night is dark and scary, <br />and the moon is full and creatures are a flying and the wind goes Whoooooooooo, <br />you better mind your parents and your teachers fond and dear, <br />and cherish them that loves ya, and dry the orphans tears <br />and help the poor and needy ones that cluster all about, <br />or the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!!dragonmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586472866640318921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107543716136375055.post-26343033222900358632011-10-27T17:18:00.777-07:002011-10-27T17:18:00.777-07:00Those are wonderful cards...
