Halloween Poem

Little Orphant Annie

This poem is by James Whitcomb Riley. I first heard this poem when I was a child in fourth grade. It was close to Halloween and the teacher was reading season appropriate materials. I absolutely loved it, but my teacher was just reading without telling us the names of the poems or their authors. All I could remember was Little Orphan Annie (notice I didn't quite have it right).

I kept that piece in my mind and I searched. It took me over twenty years to find it. I found it on the internet while looking for Halloween poems. I only knew that it was read to me at the Halloween season, so I searched for Halloween poems. After searching through lots of sites, I found one that said Halloween Decorations and a Poem. I didn't think it would be it, but was delighted that it was. That site has long since disappeared, but I'm happy to have found this poem.

Friends are the Best

Friends are the best accessories.

This may sound strange taken at face value, but think about it. Where would you be without your friends?

Just don't go all horror movie and start wearing them as jewelry. There are laws against that.
