This is a spooky story about what happened to me last Halloween
ten – eight - six – four – two - zero here’s my little count back song
ten – eight - six – four – two – zero hope you all can sing along
Ding-dong, trick or treat,
Give me something good to eat
Ding-dong, trick or treat I got ten sweet treats to eat!
I went trick or treating and I got ten treats
10 treats 10 treats yummy yum!
But then I saw a ghost and said we better run!
10 treats run, ten treats run
Then something strange happened that Halloween night,
I looked in my bag and I got a big fright
Instead of 10 sweet treats, what did I see?
Only 8 treats, how could this be?
ten – eight - six – four – two – zero
I think my treats were counting back by twos from ten
You got that right, let’s say it again!
ten – eight - six – four – two - zero here’s my little count back song
ten – eight - six – four – two – zero I used to have ten treats in my stack
ten – eight - six – four – two – zero but now my treats were counting back
Count back what a mess I got more treats, but I counted less
2 treats seem to disappear, each time I count that’s what I fear…
I went trick or treating there were 8 treats left
8 treats 8 treats yummy yum!
But then I saw a ghost and said we better run!
8 treats run, 8 treats run!
