Help! Do you think they have spied us?
Ghoulies and monsters and spiders,
We're frightened to death
Can't catch our breath,
Who can we find that will hide us?
An eye with no face - what a freak,
A hand with no arm makes me shriek,
That eye it is peeping,
Those fingers are creeping
They're finding my throat - ooohh....arghhhh...... eeek.........!!!
I thought I'd post this early before there is a glut of such posts. Photo is of edible fingers baked by my friend @justplainsilly and used with her permission.

@jaboUK Those fingers look like what my fingers looked like after I broke them all in a basketball game back in college!

Good one! I did mine early for the same reason Those fingers in the picture are so real like.
Although the snack might have been delicious but the look now have made it unappealing.
I like all things Halloween except on food

@Daljinder I'm not bothered about Halloween myself, we don't make much of it here. Do you in India?
The fingers are fun even though they look gruesome.

@Daljinder It's only due to the American influence that Halloween has taken off here.

Even though I live in the country, you can bet my doors will be locked @jaboUK . Back in the day you knew they were just costumes; nowadays, you never know who's inside those things. Great poem!

@jaboUK I sat here looking at the fingers for awhile lol I knew they weren't real but it took me awhile to realise they were biscuits and it made me want to try and make them! Just so cool!
Loved the poem too of course! Will admit it did scare me a little because I'm alone in my room and it's night time lol
