The witches dine at The Devil’s Inn
They like the atmosphere.
Bellies full, they burp and slurp
The remains of their last beer.
Those naughty witches are all a buzz
And on their brooms they slalom
Pitching lots of rotten eggs,
At Ginger, Kate and Gollum.
Debbie, Debby, Debs and Tess
Be sure to sit with care,
They spread a bunch of fire ants,
A crawling on your chair!
On their way to Jacqueline’s
They meet another coven
These little witches were just too sweet,
So they hid them in an oven.
Anita, Karen and Monique,
I know you like to bake
Watch out for all those spider webs
They stuffed inside your cake!
Now Nancys, Sandys and Cathys too,
I know you don’t like rats,
So I hope you like their gift for you
A box of furry bats.
Soaring off, they head out west,
To tickle Joni’s toes
Shaving cream the houses
Of Janean and Mary Rose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One last stop at Garden Web,
The Holidayers are quite a group
They drop off crunchy crickets,
And lots of ghosty poop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sputtering and diving,
Their brooms they can not steer,
They head back east, to hibernate
And fly again next year!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Love the use of red for Halloween, great table and fun centerpiece! You have to be feeling better if you're shaping meatloaf into pumpkins:@)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you "are getting there"
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkin shaped goodies are so darn cute!
Love the black, red and white scape for your witchy table :0)
I love what you did with the meatloaf! My mom always made a heart shaped one for valentines day, covered it with ketchup, and used mashed potatoes around the edge (for lace). I remember her doing it EVERY year! Great ideas though, thanks for sharing! Sandi
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where to begin...This is so adorable. I feel as if the comments ought to rhyme too. The table is so pretty, no matter whether you made it devilish or not. The reds are great and just pop right out at you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I LOVE how you cut those baked potato chips into pumpkin shapes. How cute is that?
So here's my attempt:
Happy Happy Halloween
to the very clever Cuisine Kathleen.
The red and black was fun and different! Loved the poem! Cute pumpkin hamburgers & chips!

Glad you are feeling well enough to set this table! I think it is a little too elegant for those naughty witches! Maybe my well behaved witches were the ones put in the oven! Happy Halloween! Linda
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to try the cookie cutter potato idea! That is cute. This table scape is so beautiful, who knew a halloween table could be pretty? Love how you tied it all together. (Oh, and mustard goes with spiders better than ketchup) :)
ReplyDeleteKathleen-LOVE that pitch fork!! You should have made a place card for Christine O' Donnell :) I you were close too--I 'd love to know how to do the cake!
ReplyDeleteVery cute poem and tablescape, Kathleen. I hope this means you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteYou are too clever -- if you can do this when you don't feel well, no wonder you are the star when you DO feel great.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back and 'Bushy Tailed' again!
ReplyDeleteCute poem and great table.
Love the B&R for Halloween..it works!
You gave me my menu for tomorrow night with those cute pumpkin shaped potatoes and meatloaf.
It's my night to cook for the Gkids.. I'm sure they'll love it.
Continue to get better.
Love the pumpkin cut food!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you must be on the mend - coming up with that fantastic poem, setting a devilish 'scape for us AND making appropriately shaped food! I really enjoyed seeing black/red/white as a colour combo for Halloween and it goes perfect with your theme! Hope you are feeling 100% soon!
ReplyDeleteDD
I am so sorry to hear you have been unwell Kathleen. I sure do hope you will be feeling better for this weekend! It looks like you might be as your tablescape is fabulous and your poem is brilliant! I can't wait to see what you do for Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep resting.
Best wishes,
Natasha.

Hope that this finds you on the mend and feeling better for the quickly approaching festivities. The Halloween tablescape is darling...what I really like are those wonderful white plates with the red furls...I hope to see those highlighted in future tablescapes. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteSee you are like every other kid and do not listen to all your "mothers"!!! ;)

Oh, and I LOVE the teapot in your header..!
Love the red you used...Have missed reading my favorite blogs...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table! I love the festive touches you've added to the menu, too. I especially love that cute Halloween teapot in your header. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table and I love the potato pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteDonna
This is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the sweet words on my last post!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, you're having way too much fun with this. And, please no fire ants in my chair. I keep thinking what fun it would be to spend time with you.
ReplyDeleteHow cute to make a meatloaf in a pumpkin mold! What a great idea. I'll bet you could mold a lot of different foods.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, what fun you (and we) have had with your clever witchy rhymes this year! Great idea to use red and black for a "devilish" table! That red ribbon with white edging is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your poem, you are so clever! Your table in red gave me an idea! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute ideas!!! Those potatoes had to take a long time...I applaud you!!! Have a wonderful and safe Halloween weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're doing better Kathleen. Is ghosty poop white?
ReplyDeleteBravo~Bravo!! What a great rendition of your own great pumpkin story! The table is really, REALLY pretty despite the pitchfork in the middle. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved to hear you're feeling better. I was worried, big time! That crud is nothing to mess around with.
Take it easy for a wee bit yet, okay?
Oh, so fun! I always love your rhymes. Fun seeing my name today too. Your red and white is just gorgeous and makes such a fun table, devilishly wonderful. That red and white patterned one is especially fabulous and the red flatware. Thanks for sharing your fun talents.
ReplyDeleteYea Kathleen's back! And she's back with a bang! Love your table and your poetry. And I love your creative food. Those ribbons you used to tie the napkins are so pretty, and I love the red swirls on those plates. Where on earth did you get that pitch fork? How cute! I don't have a pitch fork. Now I want one too! So glad you are finally back and feeling up to your devilish little rhymes, scapes, and food! laurie
ReplyDeleteI love your red and black witches table but I love more that you are feeling better Kathleen! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and telling me to come over. I already had but it was nice that you let me know too. I figured a coven of witches had to be me!!! Have a wonderful Halloween.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is the cutest post combined with such a pretty table and some yummy-looking food! If you had only known...I have two ivy topiaries on my breakfast bar with fleur-de-lis on top. I noticed a very silky spider web starting around one and I thought i was so cool, until my mom came and told me to put my glasses on that it was filled with lots of little tiny spiders!!! Hope you are feeling well!
ReplyDeleteWell I never did see such a cute post and poem -- how cute! And the devil table was cute as a bug's ear! Love the pumpkin shaped playing with food. I sure hope you get better and thanks for putting a smile on our faces today. Happy Halloween. Joni
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I'm tongue-tied...
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' the red plates and glasses...
So cool, spooky, and yes...very inviting.
What a spooktacular table Kathleen~
ReplyDeleteI love the red and black!
And I love the pumpkin hamburgers, they are as cute as can be!
I want that pumpkin teapot, boy is that cute~
Hugs,

Kathleen, once again a wonderfully spooky table! I love the red, black and white used together...just perfect for a devil of a good time. The little pitchfork is a cute touch.

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table! I hope you are feeling better soon. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were feeling better to get this fun post up. Your red devil table is HOT and the poetry yet another entertaining piece. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the shaped fried potatoes. I'll have to get my chef to make some. Your grands are going to have fun at this meal. ~ Sarah
Red is not usually a color I associate with Halloween but your centerpiece certainly was appropriate :0 The tablesetting is gorgeous but I really loved the pumpkin/fall food. I get such great ideas from your blog and will be making some pumpkin/leaf potatoes and meat loaf soon.
