Almost a poem. I was looking through some old Halloween stuff, and found a set of clues for a Halloween scavenger hunt. I thought that I had written these, but Kathleen tells me that we collaborated on them for Will.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Halloween is filled with treats \u2013
Go look where the furry beast eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scary ghost or a dark black cat \u2013
Look below the welcome mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the midnight moon does fade,
Look where Halloween costumes get made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jack O’ Lantern slowly turns,
Look where fires sometime burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things alive and nearly dead \u2013
Look where William lays his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vampire’s fangs, a werewolf’s claws \u2013
Look inside the Monster\u2019s jaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The witches spell book turns a page.
Look in Sam and Walter’s cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I think the <\/em>fury beast is the dog \u2013 probably Leo at the time. The <\/em><\/em>monster’s jaws was probably my front door Halloween decoration.<\/em><\/em> Sam and Walter also must have been pets \u2013 maybe dwarf hamsters? I know we started with two dwarf hamsters \u2013 we thought we bought two males, but Kathleen figured out one was female \u2013 and didn’t tell us. We then ended up with multiple generations… <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t remember the structure of this. I don’t know if there was a ‘prize’ at each location, or whether these clues formed a sequence (each clue pointing to the next clue) \u2013 with the prize being at the end. I\u2019m guessing it was a single prize at the end..<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
