A/N: Okay, so originally I was planning on writing an entire multi-chaptered 'Hey Arnold!' story with a Halloween party and Arnold and Helga and Curly and Rhonda and all of that along with witches and spells and accidents and all of that great stuff, but since Halloween is just tomorrow... Well, I've pretty much run out of time to do something as grand as that. :( So instead, I've decided to just treat you guys to a Halloween 'HA!' poem written especially for the occasion. ;) It WAS going to be the kick-start of the big story I had planned, but yeah... Don't worry, I'll still write it, even if Halloween has long passed by the time I actually get to posting it. XD But for now, you're all just going to have to settle for this... Hope you enjoy. ;)
Happy Halloween! }:D

Halloween
On a day where goblins and ghouls roam the night
And witches and warlocks can't resist taking flight
When the moon is full and the werewolves are howling
And one little pigtailed girl is scowling
When daytime always feels so fleeting
And a football headed kid is just asking for a beating
When the stars may be out, but they offer no light
And one food-loving boy's clothes always fit him so tight
When vampires fangs are the sharpest they can be
And a tall-haired boy is watching 'Pop Daddy' on TV
When magic and spells are alight in the sky
And a little Asian girl is watering her bonsai
When the monsters under your bed become deathly real
And Big Bob Pataki is watching 'The Wheel'
When an evil cackle is echoing across your town
And a red-haired boy is wearing ANYTHING but a frown
When horrid nightmares are all you can dream
And a little third-grade boy can't stop thinking about chocolate ice cream
When Frankenstein's monster is out and about
And Phil is already on his way to getting take out - (Darn watermelons)
When aliens are landing in your backyard
And Oskar is still trying to find his green card
When dolls and murderers become one in the same
And people are still questioning whether Gertie is sane
When you can't help but feel like someone is watching you
And Brainy just got hit over the head with a shoe
When around every corner there's nothing but screams
And Sid is overreacting again and going to extremes
When you're scared out of your witts and run all the way to Montana
And Monkey Man is relaxing and enjoying a banana
When ghosts are released from their graves to wreak fright
And Sheena is dancing in the streets, not the least bit stage fright
When jack o' lanterns are sneering at you from every turn
A country hick is quick to learn...
When black cats eyes are glowing so green
The day can only be referred to as Halloween
And on this night where there's nothing but terror...
Rhonda is having a party, so you'd better be there
A/N: Rather rambly and long, I know, but I wanted to incorporate as many characters from 'Hey Arnold!' as possible. And the last part there... Yeah, well, like I said, this poem was meant to kick-start that long, multi-chapter Halloween story I'd had planned, and in it Rhonda was throwing a big Halloween party. :) I figured this was maybe like the invitation to her party or something... I don't know. But the main point of this was to let you all know that Rhonda is throwing a party in a tasteful and creative way. But I fear I did it in a more long-winded, 'Is it over yet, Mommy?' king of way instead. *Cringes* But whatever. I like it, mostly, and it's Halloweeny, so I'm cool. :D
Hope you enjoyed, and have a happy Halloween everybody! :D :D :D
