MUMBO, JUMBO, TOIL AND TUMBLE
by J. Randal Matheny © 2011
Mumbo, jumbo, toil and tumble,
The goblins howl, the tummies rumble,
The sweaty faces behind the masks,
Are serious in their candied tasks.
>From trunk to trunk for a coveted sweet,
The ghouls are quick upon their feet,
They know, these tots in bundled sheets,
Which bumpers hold the tastiest treats.
Ah, would that we, in children's dressings,
Know where to find the richest blessings,
Behind our masks, in flight and hiding,
Discover all that God's providing!
