sara chickering helps me dress up

like i am a goblin

and i do dance through the doors of the schoolhouse

and i do sing a goblin song

in my clothes of green that sara chickering did sew for me.

leanora sutter did dress like a gypsy

and she had sittings by a cauldron

where she did stir the air inside with a big shovel

and she did tell the fortunes to the bob-haired

chatterbox girls

and now they do not have fearings

of being old maids

because leanora did tell them

it would not be so.

the room did have streamers of black and orange.

and owls and black cats and witches on their brooms had flyings

up the walls.

we did eat of carrot cake and cheese sandwiches and

we did drink pots and pots of cocoa

and i don’t ever have rememberings of so much fun.
