Come into my parlor
Said the spider with much glee
Another Witches’ fly by
Will soon be history.
They stared in witchy wonder
At the candles’ webby glow.
Then made tonight’s “ uh oh “ list
Of the places they would go!
Their brooms are freshly slicked and slimed
They’re feeling in the pink
Scribbler, Podso , Kim and Rach
Get a pail of bugs that stink!
Marigene, Ellen, Lulu and Donna,
Your driveway may look clean,
Be very careful when you walk
It’s slicked it with vaseline!
Nellie, Kathy and Katherine,
Yvonne and Butter Yum,
Are very busy cleaning up
Globs of witchy gum!
Marsha, Sherry and LDH,
Those witches chalked your door!
And spread a pile of spider webs.
All over Christine’s floor!
Marty, Karen, Cindy and Mary,
You’re going to need a wizard,
Those witches cast a bloggy spell,
And turned you into lizards!
Can you believe they had the nerve
To fill Barb’s car with trash?
And gobbled down every bit,
Of Joyce’s chocolate stash!
Time is short, they must move on
And complete this evenings’ caper
They steal a ton of dishware
From my friend, The Tablescaper!
They’re getting tired, they need to rest
“Let’s crash at Jo Jo’s house”
And since it is her birthday,
They bring a birthday MOUSE!
They’re running out of stinky worms,
And almost out of chalk
They head up North to get more tricks,
At Kathleen’s in New York.
(To be continued next time!)
BTW, chalk and New York rhyme, in NY! :)
Thanks for visiting! Please stop by Susan’s at Between Naps on the Porch for more Tablescape Thursday.

What a delightful table and poem! You really are tops, my friend! And that spaghetti squash pie looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteSpooky with a twist. Like it!!
ReplyDeletehi, ghoulfriend :) Another great post! I love the table! and the pie, never thought to make a pie, I think even Miss Picky would like that one!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!! Just keeps getting better! The spider cupcake holder is to die for. The witch spoons and spider napkins are adorable. I cant wait to stop by each week!!!!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, what a wonderful table and the poem is to die for cute! What a sweet friend Karen is to send you those plates. They are just perfect with your table!
ReplyDeleteVery bewitching!! I am loving the sweet plates and the pie looks and sounds great!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Janie
Oh! Kathleen, Do I dare enter? My heart is weak with fright... You are unbelievable. Where do you get all the stamina? I think you are so talented, a poet, decorator, tablescaper and cook. Where does it end?
ReplyDeleteYou MUST have magical powers. Oh, yes, you warned us. Hugs, Ginger
What a fun birthday surprise!!! Oh if only you all could come on over! I loved the writings along with the wonderful table! Thank you so much Kathleen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic setting! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun. I really like the purple, green and black combination on this setting!
ReplyDeleteAdorable as usual. I happen to have a spaghetti squash on hand. I had never thought of making it into a pie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and fun table and your 'rhyme' is adorable!
ReplyDeleteCute poem...you are so creative. Even though I'm not crazy about Halloween, I love the colors you used on your table. And, by the way, your kitchen is gorgeous! Warm, and pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour table is very creative! I see that you have found a great new use for those cupcake holders! And I like the table on your header, too. Linda
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination on your spidey table! I especially love your clever poem. Very creative! The little tea light candles in the cupcake holder is just so cute. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe spider cupcake holder is cute with the tealights. The witch spoons and spider napkins are great, and I'm going to check them out at CTS. I just happen to be going tomorrow :-) I remember the web tablecloth and each year I try to find a similar one, but no luck yet.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous table, Kathleen! The colors really pop and the spider theme is so spooky. I like your witches table in your header. Being a witch was my favborite costume when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteMaking the spaghetti squash into a pie is a great idea --I think my husband would like it that way as it looks like a fritatta.
Loved the continuation of the poem ...and looking forward to part 3!
♥ Pat
What a fun post to read and look at! Loved all the purple and green and that candle holder/cupcake hold -- is it combined? -- is just fab in the center with all the webbing. Just fun -- and what a poet you are! Joni
ReplyDeleteI can really tell which photos were taken with the new camera! Very nice! Fun poetry and table - as always! Love the green and purple combo. I can live without spiders though ;)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't wait for the second installment! Love the purple for Halloween and love the butter plates! So glad you explained the "chalk" and "New York" :) BTW-- I did make the spa. squash according to your instructions a few weeks ago--we're hooked!
ReplyDeleteSo creative (and spooky)! I love how you transformed the cupcake holder into a votive candelabra!
ReplyDeleteI love your header tablescape as well as this purple and green one. Wow the tablecloth is amazing!! Love the cupcake centerpiece. Come link up to Centerpiece Wed on my blog..it is underneath my tablescape post for today.
ReplyDeleteKarin
You clever girl you! I loved everything, the colors, fabulous - purple green and black are so great. That table covering and the stand, the darling casseroles, but of course your fun poem is the hit. Hope everyone survived those slimy witches.
ReplyDeleteI love it Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever gal! That table is so fun and I am honored to be part of your very clever poem!
Hugs,
Cindy
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. Cupcake holder is neat. Looks like the Rebel is doing well. I am still learning on it, too. We should talk lenses sometime!
The new header is beautiful.
Carol
Kathleen:
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun table. I love your creative use of the cupcake holder. It looks like it was meant to be used that way. And the large web across the table is a wonderful touch that makes a solid tablecloth the perfect match.
Keep on spinning your web, oh I mean yarn.
- The Tablescaper
Kathleen:
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say how much I like this header. I'm guessing this was a post from last year?
Those little witches hats are adorable - just the right touch.
- The Tablescaper
What fun, Kathleen! I love your Halloween posts. Great photos and your poem is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThat was such a cute poem. Loved how you used all the names of your followers in it. I am assuming that Nellie is me, but maybe not!! lol
Very cute tables for sure. Love the black and white especially. Very creative as always.
You have the knack girly.
and also thanks for your prayers for Mary, they are so appreciated.
Blessings, Nellie
Oh and I love your kitchen, very pretty. I have the same color cabinets and I love mine too!!
Your kitchen looked so beautiful at christmas time. Loved the tree on the island.
I love this setting. Great purples, black and green. The web is such a neat idea. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Kathleen! That wonderful web over the table really sets the stage for a fabulous scene! The purple and lime color scheme is a refreshing change, and your rhyme is delightful!
ReplyDeleteYou've got it all together today, Kathleen. Is that purple with the green? I love the combination. I never know what to do with spaghetti squash so I am happy to have your recipe. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! Your tablescape is so cute and clever...but the poem! You are one talented lady! Hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cute table. I love your colors and the little witch hat spoons are darling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Great job! That table covering is fabulous, and I love the monkey place card holders!!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative!You did a great job. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan scary be beautiful? Obviously it can when Cuisine Kathleen's in charge of operations! Loved the whimsy, drama, and (as always) your poetry is unparalleled! I'm in despair that I missed last week's installment. I was away and missed the delivery of my toady pizza!!! Perhaps next year it will work out ... or maybe an even more dire threat/treat lies ahead ....
ReplyDeleteOh, how very clever you are Kathlene!! I love the spider web overlay on this fun, fun table!! I am feeling a little arachnophobic, lol!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail

ReplyDeleteLOVE the purple and green!! Great table! And I don't think I have ever heard of spaghetti pie! Hummm.... Looks really good!
