Feeling a bit under the weather so this is one from 2014. Hope you enjoy. 😊
Blackness fills the sky once bright
Witches, Goblins, Ghosts aflight
Soaring, Shrieking, Spectral Beings
Chasing after Unearthly Dreams

I heard them shout, “It’s Halloween!”
As children scurried, about the scene
Clad in costumes, their faces painted
I’m sure we’ve never been acquainted
But still they come, and ring the bell
Trick or Treat, I hear them yell
Such silly little things, are they
Who walk about and head my way
I’ll greet them with a kindly smile
And watch them grab my candy pile
Then suddenly, they’ll take off running
They think they’re sly and ever cunning
But I got them good, just wait and see
I’ve made this for them, especially
A potion, of which is quite austere
Something to make it perfectly clear
Halloween is a night for ghouls
Witches, goblins, black cats, and fools
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

He gathered them together
Every goblin, ghoul and beast
To celebrate this day with him
At the annual Frankenstein feast
Wolfman came in full attire
Alice brought a rabbit in a hat
Jack O’Lantern brought the pie
And grandpa turned up as a bat
Of course, Frank had celebrities
Most had their faces masked
He even had some other folks
Though they were never asked
But Frankie didn’t care, no sir
Everyone was welcome to crash
Clowns, kids, even Chaplin did
It was the greatest monster bash!

All Hallows eve, the night closes in
Fantastical beasts return on a whim
Waiting and watching, the chill, we suspected
But shadows grow longer, and quite unexpected
The moon shines a glow, but it’s still not enough
To keep them from coming, though we try to rebuff
Witches and warlocks fly through the air
Skeletons rattle about without care
The living dead walk aimlessly in the dark
Ghosts and ghouls gather round in the park
All watching the clock, for the midnight hour
Impatiently waiting for what they will devour

Climb aboard, it’s very late
The bus arrives for you
Ghouls are here, to guide your way
And a ghostly quartet, too
Enjoy the ride, it’s cozy inside
Nothing to fear, nor frighten
Zombies make your trip quite nice
While goblins surely delight in
Watching you squirm about your seat
They say the trip is almost done
But the bus keeps going, no end in sight
Boo! This is what they call fun!
