So, without further ado........ drumroll please........., here is my 2019 entry!
Happy Halloween(sie)!


The Magic of Glynnis McDoo

A Halloween Story of 93 words


Gather round, little goblins, and I'll tell you
about the midnight ride of Glynnis McDoo.
You'll guess, of course
that she rode on a horse,
a theory that I will undo.

That inky night when the moon was high,
bats circled above in the velvety sky.
She rubbed on some lotion,
It turned out to be potion
dropped by a witch swooping by.

Cobwebs covered the lights on the street,
Glynnis wondered, trick or a treat?
She hopped on a broom,
flew right out of the room,
and her Halloween night was complete!

Super cute story and fun rhymes. I loved the intro of Glynnis Mcdoo (fun name too)! Best of luck to you! (I think reading your story made me inadvertently rhyme lol)
