It has been a long time since we sat
Way back then, I believe we were phat
Our days were confounded
Skeletons abounded
Now naked, donned only in a hat

Lost spirits, dancing, in midair flight,
No shadows cast, beneath the light
Of a street lamp, in the dewy mist,
Lingering softly, like a sweetened kiss
Stuck in limbo, they forage the Earth
Longing, praying, for their own rebirth
Though nothing here, is worth the tally,
Too many have gathered, in the alley
Harrowing screams, and chilling groans
Covered in dirt, these skeletal bones
They hope for more, but circumstances
Just don’t allow them, second chances
So hover they must, no place to land
Their presence, no longer in demand
Forced to move on, to find their place
Where eternity rests, without a trace

Friends till the end, forever, they cried
On the battlefield, beaten, tis when they died
Now locked together, by their own man-made chains
Only problem about them, was neither had a brain
You’d think by now, they would know how to break
The bindings around them, how much could it take?
But emotions ran high, and soon they did fight
Yelling at each other, all day and all night
When one would go left, the other went right
Things got so nasty, the neighbors took flight
Then the Devil himself, called them to him
Demanded they behave, and then, on a whim
He decided the two, must forever stay
The way they came to him, on that fateful day
And he went a step further, making sure he was clear
No more arguing nor fighting, or they’d disappear
But that wasn’t the only thing that made them cranky
He named one of them Clinky, and the other one, Clanky

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

Maniacal beings appear on the spot
Of graves from the others, a most twisted plot
They rise from the underworld, ready to strike
Frightening humans, yes, those they dislike
Rattling bones, they create such a clatter
Run if you must, it won’t really matter
For thieves of the underground
Will search, until you are found
They’re coming to get you, ready or not!
