Whoopie Once, Whoopie Twice, Whoopie Ghosts and Soup with Rice

by Maurice Sendak

In October I'll be host 

To witches, goblins, and a ghost.

I'll serve them chicken soup on toast.

Whoopy once, whoopy twice,

Whoopy chicken soup with rice.

Whoopy once, whoopy twice,

Ghostly earrings are quite nice.
