Happy Halloween!

In October when the sun goes down

There comes the beasts of gown and crown

Fluffy pink and midnight blue

Can you be cute and scary too?

Fierce little tigers, ghouls and ghosts

Grabbing candy from their hosts

Princesses marching up the street

Waving wands to gain a treat

Bloody pumpkins, chains, and moans

Skeletons with missing bones

Enough candy to rot teeth

Put your sword back in its sheath!

Toddlers dressed in pumpkin suits

Cowboy hats with high heeled boots

Do you need a pillowcase?

Better bring two, and increase your pace

Maybe you will need a truck

That much candy will need luck

Give them a sweet smile and say

"Hope you had a wonderful day"

The creepiest is the haunted house

The witch is sweating through her blouse

Face paint really makes a scare

If you put it in your hair

Shall we eat some pumpkin seeds?

The gypsy wants to buy more beads

Boards that creak beneath your feet

Hungry for anything sweet

Circumstances unforeseen

Wish me Happy Halloween!
