"Poem of the Week” frl Copper Center
"On the Night of Oct. 31"
On the night of thirty first
Some one stoll my pursel
I had a 1,000 dollar bill in it.
I didn’t hear any noise, not one
little bit.
I went,outside to the car.
I looked up I saw only the mion and a
star.
I had a dog to guide.
I was ready to go inside
I heard a noise I looked and there stood
a ghost.
I looked again. It walked over to a post.
I saw a black thing in it’s hands.
Then I knew for sure it was my purse with
the pretty bands.
