A cat called Halloween

It was a cold and windy night
When I heard a little cry
Coming from an alley way
And I had to see just why.

I saw a tiny kitten
As black as she could be
With just a little orange spot
So I named her Halloween.

I put her in my pocket
To try to keep her warm
I could tell that she'd been out there
Just weathering the storm.

I nursed her and I cared for her
And she grew up like a queen
She took the whole house over ...
Anything for Halloween.

She has her catnip toys around
And a bed of fancy lace
She has such pretty golden eyes
And a sweet look on her face.

She always sleeps right next to me
Yeah, we make quite a team
And now she owns the family ...
Anything for Halloween.

Now when witches fly upon their brooms
And ghosts come out and scream
As we hand out the treats, I say,
"Here's to Halloween!"
