Halloween Fractions

Trick or treating my-oh-my
I Ggot some chocolate from some guy…
He was dressed in a pumpkin suit,
Just like his greenish, cute pet newt….
I checked out his chocolate treat,
I saw it wasn’t one I’d eat,
The least-good treat I got by far,
A broken piece of chocolate bar…

Fractions!
HALLOWEEN!
Make me, wanna scream!
Strange things happen on Halloween,
Fractional pieces can be seen,
Pieces of chocolate?
Throw ‘em away quick!
This must be a halloween trick!

An eighth of a bar, I recognized,
Not a great halloween surprise,
I’d never eat a chocolate fraction!
That’s my honest, gut reaction…

Listen to me I’m the green yapper,
Only eat a whole chocolate in its wrapper!

I had one eighth,
I had one eighth, 
I had an eighth of a chocolate bar….

But then the lights went out,
Someone flipped the switches
Halloween darkness…
Probably caused by witches…
When the lights came back,
I checked-in on my treats
Making sure I still possessed my halloween eats,
I checked the chocolate, and this is what I saw,
I had twice as much chocolate, As I had before,
That’s the type of fact, my stomach can’t ignore!
That’s the type of fact, my stomach can’t ignore!

Fractions!
HALLOWEEN!
Make me, wanna scream!
Strange things happen on Halloween,
Fractional pieces can be seen,
Pieces of chocolate?
Throw ‘em away quick!
This must be a halloween trick!

A quarter’s two eighths of the bar,
One fourth’s better, better by far!
I’d doubled up the chocolate treat,
But still it wasn’t one I’d eat!

Listen to me I’m the green yapper,
Only eat a whole chocolate in its wrapper!

One half’s two quarters of the bar,
One half’s better, better by far!
I’d doubled up the chocolate treat,
But still it wasn’t one I’d eat!

Listen to me I’m the green yapper,
Only eat a whole chocolate in its wrapper!

One whole’s two halves of the bar,
One whole’s better, better by far!
I’d doubled up the chocolate treat,
And now it’s the type of treat I’d eat!

Listen to me I’m the green yapper,
Only eat a whole chocolate in its wrapper!

I had one whole,
I had one whole, 
I had one whole  chocolate bar….

But then the lights went out,
Someone flipped the switches
Halloween darkness…
Probably caused by witches…
When the lights came back,
I checked-in on my treats
Making sure I still possessed my halloween eats,
I checked the chocolate, and this is what I saw,
There wasn’t any chocolate in my bag anymore…
The chocolate tasted sweet, the chocolate tasted fine,
I wish Halloween was every day, and all the time!
