Book Review


Halloween.
Sly does it. Tiptoe catspaws.
Slide and creep.
But why? What for?
How? Who? When! 
Where did did it all begin?
"You don't know, do you?"
asks Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud
climbing out of the pile of leaves
under the Halloween tree. 
"You don't really know!"
"Well," answers Tom the Skeleton, 
"er--no."
