Read the story through the lines, feel the warmth of reading time.
Dream of softly written words, warm we know, stories told.
As the reading days unfold, hearts grow warmer in the fold,
Peace of mind is all we know, warm they go, stories told.

Stories for children and adults
by ME, The Crazymad Writer – ARRRGH.
This poem was inspired by the NEW Alice in Wonderland story.
Off with her head, I said, OFF, OFF, OFF!
Off with her head; put it on a block!
Swing your axe high executioner; find the true mark!
I said off with her head, now make a start!’
*
Why would you want to punish her, so?
Said the red King for Alice, below.
She is just a poor child; a wisp of a girl,
Seeking Rabbit’s house on Top of the World.
*
For a moment the Queen faltered, mulling her plan,
Then she exploded again, asking, Are you mouse or man?
Alice’s head it must fall, lest yours be the next!
Now off with that head, and don’t make a mess!
*
Standing there frightened, Alice thought her days gone,
As she waited for the chopper and her final anon.
Then down from the sky an old man appeared,
And whisked her away tucked under his beard!
*
She won’t be a chopping your head, my sweet child,
Said the man, Father Christmas, with gentle sweet smile.
We shall up and away and follow our snouts,
To Top of the World, and Rabbit’s neat house.
Hissing her annoyance at being out thought,
The Queen ordered everyone beheaded and went for a walk.

Trick or treat us this night, It’s Halloween, we say,
Trick or treat us this night, With goodies, we pray,
Like candy and cola and pieces of fruit,
Trick or treat us this night, You silly old coot.
*
I will not give you a thing, You nasty young tykes,
Go away, leave me be, It’s late in the night,
You should be home, in your beds,
Not here by my door, Be off you little scruffs,
I am closing my door.
*
Trick or treat us this night,
This is your last chance,
Trick or treat us this night,
Don’t take that vile stance,
Give us goodies – so fine,
Like candy, just give,
Trick or treat us this night,
You silly old twit.
*
I warned you already,
Now here is my boot,
Take that and that,
You spiteful young brutes,
And if you dare try,
To trick me this night,
I will kick you some more,
I tell you no lie.
*
Trick or treat us this night,
You had your last chance,
Now we trick you this night,
Despite your brave stance,
Abracadabra,
You are under our spell,
And will give some treats,
Sure, Halloween is so swell.
The witches are coming, It’s that time of the year,
When ghosts, monsters and goblins, walk abroad, creating fear.
A time of dark nights and much darker deeds,
When kids call on neighbours, saying, trick or treat if you please.
When you deposit some treats into the bag by their side,
You will see magic so wondrous in those kids’ eyes,
The same magic that you possessed a long time ago,
Before worldly concerns dimmed its bright glow.
Never fear, though, you can rekindle it, Just open your eyes,
To the marvel and the wonder, In this great world of ours.
