The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
ON HALLOWEEN THERE WAS A LITTLE POEM WE WOULD ALL
CHANT OR SAY AT PARTIES OR WHILE OUT TRICK OR
TREATING. IT WENT LIKE THIS:
THE WORMS CRAWL IN.
THE WORMS CRAWL OUT.
IN YOUR STOMACH
AND OUT YOUR MOUTH,
AND IF YOU SEE A HEARSE GO BY,
THEN YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
