Things were in readiness, even the mouse...
The pumpkins were lined by the front door with careIn hopes that Trick or Treaters soon would be there ...
Wrinkled witches hands reached sneaky and slow
To grab some of the treats piled up and ready to go...
Scary pumpkin heads watched with diabolical gleefor the first sign of children....ready to flee...
And Pa in his witch hat...
And me with nails painted black...
Had just settled down for TV and a snack...
When what to did appear before our wondering eyes,
But a weiner dog dressed, in a Halloween disguise.
Oh he begged with his eyes and he howled most forlorn,
For Kit-kats, for Dots, for M&M's and candy corn.
To his great disgust we had to refuse
and when he turned around we saw he had a broom!!!!
And showing his fangs he gave us such fright...
when he barked out these words "It's almost Halloween night...
protect all the candy because I'm coming back"
And off he flew on his broom without getting a snack!
We went back in the house and were feeling quite wary.
Because it was almost Halloween and a hungry weiner dog is scary...
...and what we saw by his food dish gave us another great fright...
Ooooooh....there's nothing as scary on an almost Halloween night.
Hey....don't hate me because I'm poetic.
Sigh...
Oh...and...
BOO!!!!!

You are poetic, Jenny! Creative mind!! This was adorable, love your doggie. Happy Halloween!! xo
Terrific post, Miss Jenny! And I so have a soft spot for DOTS! Can I come to your house for Trick or Treat??
(By the way - your decorations look wonderful:o)
Love your Halloween rhyme and decor! That is scary to have empty bowls. Mine have emptied out a couple times already. OYE!
Jenny...you have "yoga toes"!
Lucky you! I'm jealous...my toes are all scrunched together and when I attend any yoga class there's always someone who points out my flawed toes!!
(Just thought I'd let you know your toes make me jealous)
Oh bravo for helping to save oh Halloween night, I almost had a bit of fright at those fangs...until I saw the old creepy hands of the might old witch ready to grab every candy she could...oh yes this is but a sweet reminder of what Halloween night is all about! Hooray, the wicked witch and all her sisters live on tonight perhaps out in the old pumpkin patch...which reminds me, are your little pumpkins still alive on the vine?
LOL, this was great... I love rhyme of course and it's just awesomly creative with all the rhyming and pics to go along with it all while sticking to the "Twas the Night Before Xmas" scheme. Excellent:-)
Oh Miss Jenny...we could never ever hate you.
I loved both your pictures and this post!!! What fun!
God bless and have a fun filled day.
I bought my candy and popped it in the freezer...outta sight...outta mind...well...sort of!!! Heeehehee!
Great post - got frightening Halloween pics of some dogs (and cats etc) over at my place too!
XOXO LOLA:)

Loved it, Jenny! I did a little Halloween poem myself.
Great minds think alike.
=)
Awesome rhyme and love your decorations! (Did you break down and buy more at Target??) LOVE Oscar's green eyes in that pic!
I love this spooky poem! Especially love your use of "The Night Before Christmas" cadence. Very clever!
Namaste........cj
Thank you, Jenny... I needed a chuckle!
Well done, Ms Jenny... and BOO right back at ya! LOL!
That was clever. What is it about dogs that they always want to eat junk food? What is it about me that I always want to eat junk food?
cute. I'm a total Halloween slacker. We live in the woods, so no trick-or-treaters, therefore no impetus to decorate. ;)
Well, you seem to have recovered from the Tuesday festivities very nicely! Oskar looks happy to be part of Halloween!
You forgot to take some pumpkin fudge home with you. Too bad!!
Testing since Blogger won't let me leave comment.
This is so cute!!! Love the scary, green eyes on the dog and all the lovely props!!! He posed so nicely for you too!!
Hope you have a spooktacular halloween!
Hey, another zombie dog! I love them both!
Love the twist on your "Twas the night!" So stinkin' cute!!! Have a scary halloween ;).
That Oskar sure is scary! And darn it I didn't get any pumpkin fudge either!! But I got a nice Halloween card with some pumpkin Stash tea tucked inside the card! :)~Ames
I'm howling (more like BAYING) at the moon in laughter! Love this. You are a scream, Jenny! LOL!
And you are a sweetie. Got the surprise. Love you to the moon and back, my friend.
XOXOXO,
Sheila... who loves wiener dogs, that one in particular!
You are just so adorable, Jenny! I love this little Halloween poem :) Looks like you are all ready for Halloween!
*clapping like crazy*
That was A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
Ever so cute!
too funny. would like to see the weiner dog fly. That would be scary! Boo to you too! {:-D
Oh Oskar...you naughty naughty witch dog!!!!
This was the cutest thing ever Jenny.
I wish I could trick or treat in your 'hood!!!
....and some people think that cats are the ones associated with witches! Oskar showed them!
That was so cute - and Mr Jenny and Oskar are very good sports indeed!
The dog was so scary! The way he bared his teeth.
Yikes!
I'm really shaking here!
What a poet you are. Enjoyed every line of it! That weiner dog looks a bit fierce. So sad that he didn't get a treat. I have a feeling that his trick are not over yet. Happy Halloween to you!
BOO to you too :D
You have fun waiting for all those giggling children.
I've got deja vu! Did you do a Halloween poem last year? The picture of the doggie fangs sparks a memory. Your doggie is cute as can be.

Happy Friday witchy woman!
