Little Orphan Annie
by James Whitcomb Riley
Little Orphan Annie’s come to our house to stay,
And wash the cups and saucers up, and brush the crumbs away,
And shoo the chickens off the porch and dust the hearth and sweep,
And make the fire, and bake the bread, and earn her board and keep;
And all us other children, when the supper things is done,
We set around the kitchen fire and has the mostest fun
A-listeniin’ to the witch tales that Annie tells about,
And the Gobble-uns that gits you if you don’t watch out!
Once they was a little boy who wouldn’t say his prayers–
And when he went to bed at night, away upstairs,
His mammy heard him holler and his daddy heard him bawl,
And when they turned the kivvers down, he wasn’t there at all!
And they seeked him in the rafter room, and cubby hole and press,
And seeked him up the chimney flue, and everywheres, I guess;
But all they ever found was just his pants and round about!
And the Gobble-uns’ll git you if you don’t watch out!
And one time a little girl would always laugh and grin,
And make fun of everyone, and all her blood and kin;
And once when they was company and old folks was there,
She mocked them and shocked them and said she didn’t care!
And just as she kicked her heels, and turnt to run and hide,
They was two great big Black Things a-standin’by her side,
And they snatched her through the ceiling
‘fore she knowed what she’s about!
And the Gobble-uns’ll git you if you don’t watch out!
And little Orphan Annie says, when the blaze is blue,
And the lampwick sputters, and the wind goes woo-oo!
And you hear the crickets quit and the moon is gray,
And the lightning bugs in dew is all squenched away–
You better mind your parents, and your teachers fond and dear,
And cherish them that loves you, and dry the orphan’s tear,
And help the poor and needy one that cluster all about,
Or the Gobble-uns’ll git you if you don’t watch out!

And did you hear about the Twitter "Tweance" wherein a psychic contacted Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain and River Phoenix? Sadly, Avon Bard, Shakespeare was apparently rather tired and chose not to participate. You can "see" the Seance HERE. And read about it HERE.

Happy Halloween to all! The video of “The Monster Mash” is a must see, BTW. I loved it. Virtually every cheesy horror movie from my childhood is included. Thanks for the fun.
Happy Trick or Treat Day, Adorable Angela. Would love to dress as your bitch-on-a-leash tonight.
Someone said “Absent thee with felicity awhile,” so I did … and missed the treance! Happy Halloween, precious one.
Well if I was the Hunch Back you could stroke my hump anytime you’d like to. (PLEASE!)
Very nice presentation. Curious as to what a “broomstick” ride would entail, but with the way you think, maybe it’s better I don’t know.
I’m with PQS. The Monster Mash” is a must see. Memories, memories!
I was reading your twitter and notice you had a hot date? Was this with JewBoy? Are we going to hear all the dirty details? Did you give him a broomstick ride?
:-O
Damn. I missed the broomstick ride.
Double, double, toil and trouble.
Ohhh, BackRoads, the broomstick rides were the hit of the party. *evil grin*
Glad PQS and Mr. Smith liked the music and — I must say — both of you are lovely dancers!
I missed the “treance” too … Avon Bard. But what a hoot. We are incredibly creative, this species of us. Dontcha think?
jellyfish: I will deal with you later. Now crawl back under the porch.
HDB: You’re a dirty boy and you’re lucky I luvs ya.
Well that was fun. I actually saw most of the movies from which the Monster Mash video clips are derived, the best of which was Young Frankenstein. Hope your Halloween was spooktacular.
science nerd! You finally made it to the party. We’ve already bobbed for apples. But I do think I have one more broomstick ride left. … just for you.
