<\/p>\n
The mischievous big boy boonies<\/p>\n
And the crazy little girl goonies<\/p>\n
Wanted to do something silly and loonie<\/p>\n
They wanted to do some serious tomfoolery.<\/p>\n
They rose aloft to the dark, cloudless night<\/p>\n
And flitted about in the yellow Harvest moonlight.<\/p>\n
They found the perfect place, the perfect site \u2013<\/p>\n
The home of a family called Cartwright.<\/p>\n
The day\u2019s work was done, the horses in their stable<\/p>\n
As the Cartwrights\u2019 were sitting down to the dinner table.<\/p>\n
The Halloween sprites knew they would be able<\/p>\n
To dish out some havoc from their devious ladle.<\/p>\n
There in the middle of the table so round and big<\/p>\n
Was a well done, juicy roasted pig.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, it leaped to its feet and started dancing a jig.<\/p>\n
It donned a napkin round its middle as if wearing a dancing skirt rig.<\/p>\n
Hoss leaped up to capture his dinner and with the pig began to grapple.<\/p>\n
When it stood straight up and spit from its mouth a big, red apple.<\/p>\n
The apple hit Hoss dead on his head.\u00a0 He fell back, his eyes rounded and glazed.<\/p>\n
He could do no more than sit there looking shocked and dazed.<\/p>\n
The corn on the cob, arose and began to wobble and bob.<\/p>\n
Their kernels they began everywhere to lob<\/p>\n
Covering everything with a buttery slimly blob.<\/p>\n
Oh, of making a mess, they were doing a fine job.<\/p>\n
Then up came the baked and fried potatoes<\/p>\n
To start cavorting with the salad and tomatoes.<\/p>\n
Such a risqu\u00e9 scene, oh heaven only knows.<\/p>\n
One wonders where this kind of passion goes?<\/p>\n
Then the dishes up and joined in – the cups, the bowls and even the platter.<\/p>\n
Around the table they did jump and shake and clatter,<\/p>\n
They made quite a mess as the food they did everywhere splatter.<\/p>\n
The sound did abound with rattling cutlery and china chatter.<\/p>\n
Joe could not believe this strange and noisy show.<\/p>\n
His eyes were wide and his mount a big \u201cO.\u201d<\/p>\n
What in the world was happening?\u00a0 He did not know.<\/p>\n
But the madness grew and on it continued to grow.<\/p>\n
Then the Cartwrights\u2019 many books<\/p>\n
Began to rustle and move in their nooks.<\/p>\n
Each one now had a face or bore a funny look.<\/p>\n
One was a cowboy.\u00a0 Another a baker.\u00a0 One was a Chinese cook!<\/p>\n
Adam watched the madness and mirth as in his chair he calmly sat back.<\/p>\n
He wondered at the source of this wild, weird surreal attack.<\/p>\n
Of its entertaining value, he quietly surmised, there was no lack.<\/p>\n
He just grinned and watched, a gargoyle himself all dressed in black.<\/p>\n
Just then Ben stood up his voice a loud roar and rough.<\/p>\n
He spoke in a voice so fierce and tough,<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough! Enough! I say this is enough!<\/p>\n
Enough of this silliness and nonsense stuff!<\/p>\n
The grandfather clock then struck its midnight chime<\/p>\n
And the boonies and goonies took to flight.<\/p>\n
They departed just in time<\/p>\n
Because this is the end of this silly rhyme!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
