The season of Sahel in Burkina awaiting to drown.
The night is young, ghouls ready to thrill,
To award that prize of bon-bon, or candy, to those that will.
Yes it’s Halloween in the Kéré-Butler family zone,
Not heat nor wind can keep the children à la maison.
Armed with candy, art supplies, and a will of his own,
Dylan invites the neighborhood to celebrate Halloween at his home.
The kids, and their parents, all come in bunches,
Knowing not of this day, but macaroni for their lunches.
With interesting masks made out of marker and cardboard,
The children use all the supplies right down to the snap-cord.
Even the adults got in on the action,
We all joined in, what a wonderful faction.
After music and candy and macaroni to please,
It was all so fun, and without the typical Halloween skeeze.
Of course night time came and the partygoers were tired,
The party had to stop, it left nothing to be admired.
So on this day of fun and games,
Dylan was happy, Halloween came and it wasn’t lame.
Next time you wish to celebrate a day full of sweets,
Halloween is the day that we say trick or treat!
-Or as the children mistakenly say here, “S**t or sheet!”-
Happy Halloween 2010 from Tenkodogo everyone!
