I remember this poem with love, like all the others posting on here. I
have a vague memory of it being in a child's book with a drawing of Annie
going up the stairs with a candle - there were shadows on the wall, I think
they were the goblins. I wish I could see this book again, it was so
scary, and a delicious creepy memory to a little kid - that was me!

When our book club decided to have a "share your favorite poem" night, my
first thought was of Annie. My Indiana grandmother used to recite the poem
to me 60 years ago,and I've never forgotten how I loved it. I have two
Riley books (published 1904 and 1905), but not this one. I'm so glad for
your web site, so I can read to my friends about the goblins.

Just yesterday I was spending the last 15 minutes of the day in another
teacher's preschool class and as the kids were all sitting with their coats
and backpacks on, one said "Now Ms. S reads a story" and a number of kids
began to make suggestions. I said " How aobut if I tell you a story
instead....a scary story." They grew excited about the prospect, and I
recited from memory (from way way back when ) this poem. I finished up just
as Ms. S returned. The kids were so delighted. Meeting me on the stairs
later, many said "I liked that story, that was fun, the gobling will get
you....etc." What fun......

I was so thrilled to find this poem. My grandmother would recite it to me
each night before going to bed. Precious memories ~ I recently found a copy
in an Antique store in Tennessee ~ copyright 1905. A real treasure!

I can't believe I found this site and poem. My dad taught me this poem
when I was in 2nd grade. I memorized it and did it for my school's talent
show in 3rd grade. I will never forget the part--- better watch out or
they'll getcha.

Where did the following originate? "three dreadfuk groans he heerd, and
then a ghost appeared all besmeared from head to foot in purple gore..." I
thought Orphant Annie told the story to the kids.

I liked the poem.Its an enjoyable poem to read. I like the poem because I
can relate to it. I can tell Little Orphan Annie is telling the trueth
about the gobblins.
