BROOM SALES

Written for Polly Flinders' 5-Minute Tales Poetry Contest about Halloween!

BROOM SALES

There's a store around the corner
That has a special sale on brooms;
Open after midnight in October
And it has many, many rooms!

There are brooms of all sizes,
Some black handles, some with gray;
And the customers come and cackle
As they fly around and play.

Broom sales have really risen!
You would be amazed, it's true;
For every customer dressed in black,
When you buy one, you get two!

When Halloween approaches,
You can hear the hoots and wails;
As the 'everyday housewife'
Takes advantage of broom sales!

For witches have their dreams
Of flying high and far away;
Of sailing past the moon at night,
'Till the magic wears out next day.

So if Granny goes shopping
Very late some October night,
Just turn over, go to sleep;
She will be quite alright!
