Amidst the fog and full moon light
A house glows red with demonic delight
Terror reigns from deep within
Fills the air with a piercing din
Spirits roam the darkened grounds
Shrilling, shrieking, sounds abound
Horror shakes the shrouded land
That hides this fortress, once so grand
Haunting, against the black of night
Demons feast on earthly fright

If you see the headlights coming
A smoke stack, billowing high
Racing across the frozen lands
Then you’re watching an engine fly
Taken aback, you wonder
How does it move with no tracks?
Tis then you think you notice
This figure, there, riding its back
You blink your eyes, to focus
Is that a cowboy hat and a big cigar?
Rumored to show up, each Halloween
Riding atop his black metal car
And just like that, he’s gone
You’ll have wait another year
To see this ghostly train go by
With its trusted engineer…unless
Clickity clack, along no track
Once you board, you never come back…

Perched up high, upon a branch
In the forest, dark and scary
The owl waits for his next prey
Though his mistress, quite contrary
