Safety First Halloween Poem (1930's)

It is not safe for me to roam,

For round the corner I might see

A Jacky Lantern grinning at me.

—

On Hallowe’en I stay at home,

It is not safe for me to roam,

For round the corner I might hear

A hoot owl hooting sad and queer.

—

On Hallowe’en I stay at home,

It is not safe for me to roam,

For round the corner I might meet

A spooky ghost in winding sheet.
