Halloween

We were invited to a house
which had a rusty door.
We went inside and heard a sound
made by the creaky ____________.   
boar   floor   store

We looked around the living room.
We tried to find our host.
And there he was — all dressed in white —
a very airy  _____________.   
toast  roast  ghost

"Come in," he said and smiled to us.
It was a creepy smile.
"I hope that you can stay with me,
if only for a  ________________."   
while  tile  file

"Please have a seat and stretch your legs
right by this cozy fire."
We turned around, and on a chair
we noticed a ________________

"I want to introduce to you
someone you'll like, I think.
His favorite animals are bats.
Guess what's his favorite __________?"

And on a ragged, dusty couch
in an adjacent room
we could not help but glimpse a witch
and her enormous _______________ . 
loom   broom   bloom

Her toothless mouth was very wide.
She cackled like a bird.
It was a horrid, piercing sound —

Our gracious host then turned around
and said: "If you won't sit,
then come with me and look inside
my lovely viper _______________."

The pit was dank and deep and dark.
It made our fingers numb.
"I keep the vipers in this place
to please my aging _____________ ."

The mummy waved to us, and then
a closet opened wide.
We saw no clothes; instead there was
a skeleton ___________________.      
collide    divide    inside

Its knuckles cracked; it danced about
to music played so well
by hunchbacks swinging back and forth
on a gigantic  ________________.            
bell    well    cell.

Three headless butchers joined the dance
with their three headless wives.
They wore no hats, and off their belts
there dangled jagged ____________.    
drives    knives    hives

We thought we'd better go away,
when right before our eyes
they all threw off their ghoulish suits
and screamed to us: "______________!"
