Halloween

It used to be a lot more fun when the big kids were littler. Now it seems like every year it gets a little bit harder to get excited about Halloween.

Halloween Party

by Kenn Nesbitt

We're having a Halloween party at school.

I'm dressed up like Dracula. Man, I look cool!

I dyed my hair black and I cut off my bangs.

I'm wearing a cape and some fake plastic fangs.

I put on some makeup to paint my face white

like creatures that only come out in the night.

My fingernails, too, are all pointed and red.

There's no doubt I look like the evil undead.

My mom drops me off and I run into school

and suddenly feel like the world's biggest fool.

The other kids stare like I'm some kind of freak.

The Halloween party is not till next week.
