Susan Delgado and the freaky season


Susan awoke on Halloween morning and got herself ready for school.
Her mother said she should wear her coat because the air was a little cool.
"But Mom," said Susan, "it'll wrinkle my costume! Today, we dress for Halloween!"
"I understand," said her mother, " but if you catch a cold, you can't go trick or treating."
So off Susie went with all of her friends, dressed as goblins and ghouls.
And the strangest thing happened when Susan Delgado got to school.

The teacher said that the weatherman was calling for a little snow.
As the day slowly went by, her class watched the flakes come and go.
At recess, they made a snowman and gave him a Halloween greeting---Boo!
Susie wondered if Frosty or Santa had ever gone trick or treating.
They gave the snowman buttons of candy corn and a jack-o-lantern for his head.
It was fun to have two holidays in one, just like the weatherman said.

Susie told her mother when she got home of all the things she'd seen
Because you never see a snowman dress up for Halloween.
She trick or treated with a snowman and Santa, and a ghost with a glowing red nose.
They collected candy from house to house until Susie felt the cold in her toes.
When they were done, she said goodbye and gave them a Halloween hug.
Then she climbed into her bed and went to sleep, all nice and snug.

That night, she dreamed of jack-o-lantern snowmen and, although she didn't know the reason,
She was glad the snow came early this year for Susan Delgado and the freaky season.
