"Higgilty, Piggilty, Spiders Fall"

Read this poem to your children, and then for a memory exercise, wager that you can memorize it before they can.
Higgitly Piggilty, Spiders Fall
Higgilty, piggilty, spiders fall
Across the ceiling and down the wall.
Howlity, wowlity, witches fly
Around the moon in the autumn sky.
Screakity, creakity, owls all hoot
As children scramble about for loot.
Skippity, mippity off to bed,
Visions of Halloween in their heads.

Very fun, would make a great audio Cindy Lynn!
Fun poem!
Good poem! I'll read it to my daughter!
Very festive for this time of year. My daughter learned one in preschool that was super cute.
5 little pumpkins sitting on a fence.
The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The third one said, "Well we don't care!"
The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run!"
The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Whoo-ooo went the wind
And out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
