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!!

Look at the goodies, we grabbed up today

All from the neighbors, who live down our way

We just couldn’t wait, we weren’t that strong

We ate all the candy, although it was wrong

Slurping up chocolate, what a hideous sight!

Charlie kept burping, the rest of the night

Til we all made it home, alas, to our beds

But all of the sugar had gone to our heads

We couldn’t sleep, this wasn’t right

To be in our house on this Halloween night

So we all sneaked out, round the neighborhood

Hoping again, we would find something good

Perched up high, upon a branch

In the forest, dark and scary

The owl waits for his next prey

Though his mistress, quite contrary

She sits inside, in black of night

By the window, where she eyes

Creatures scurrying about the grass

And much to her surprise

One comes closer, just enough

So the door, she opens wide

Watches as it makes its way

Unsuspecting, now inside

The cauldron boils and bubbles

As the witch begins to chortle

“Trick or treat, my tasty one

It’s time for my nightly mortal”

Halloween, it’s trick or treat

Does that make it sickly sweet?

Would you prefer a devilish trick?

Or perhaps a marshmallow on a stick

Beware the goblins chasing ghosts

They’ll scare you out of your earthly host

Perhaps it’s better to just stay in

Away from all the spirited din

Remember, keep your doors shut tight

And turn on all the outside lights

Watch for witches, and green-eyed cats

And of course, those skeletons, riding bats

Beware of those who come your way

Unfriendly beings are not sweet today

Walls that slant in faded light

Specter’s roam about the night

Shadows stand in open doors

Footsteps creak across the floors

Thinking this is just a dream

Things just aren’t what they seem

Figures lurk about your home

Now you see you’re not alone

Taunting you until you scream

Trick or treat, it’s Halloween
