Elly’s Trunk or Treat
Elly Phant
scooped gobs of candy corn with her
trunk. Something was following her.
“Woooo,” Owl
hooted.
“Roooar,” Lion
screamed.
“Ooot ooot
ooot,” Monkey screeched.
Elly Phant
tip-toed past animal cages.
The zoo was
creepy on Halloween night. Animals roamed free.
Every shadow
looked monsterly.
“Kikiki kuk
kuk kuh,” Eagle squawked.
Elly sprayed
candy corn in the air.
“Thump,
thump, whomp,” Beaver pounded.
Elly sprayed
candy corn.
“Squeak,”
Mouse stood on hind legs.
Elly stood
on hind legs, “Har-ooo.”
A shower of
candy corn filled the air. Treats for all zoo animals, from Elly’s trunk.
Elly danced
with her shadow.
