ode

Example: "Ode to Halloween" by Andy Jin

When you see a child (Sam Tooley)

In a costume scary and wild

You know it is Halloween.

When kids go trick-or-treats

And get lots and lots of sweets

You know it is Halloween.

When the trees give up their yellow leaves

And the dead give back their R.I.P.s

You know it is Halloween.

An Ode to scrumptious snacks

An Ode to skeletons that clack

An Ode to Dracula

An Ode to tarantulas

An Ode to Halloween

An Ode to the year’s best time

An Ode to clocks that chime

An Ode to Halloween

He travels through time He travels through space Changing his form Changing his face

With his black glasses Red converse and more A suit, a tie And a trench coat to salute # 4

With a new companion By his side And his real name He has to hide

He goes by John Smith But there is something more What secrets are there Behind that police box door
