Halloween Dare
I found a trail, one of lit pumpkins here
Which is leading up to the haunted house
I followed them as I am truly dared
Then rain started to fall, quite a good douse
Just then a werewolf howled in the darkness
While the full moon is unblocked by the clouds
I make it to the porch, there’s no kindness
Claps and bangs from inside are all aloud
Lightning flashes showing a great dead tree
On the dark side yard of this fearful place
There are seeming loud whispers wanting me
When I turned around there’s a fearful face
I run, as fast as I can, through the yard
Looking over my shoulder as I do
I then trip over some wood that is charred
And fall in a grave with a ghostly boo
I try to get out, screaming as I try
Fearfully knowing I might be stuck there
And I find some roots that gets me out high
Avoiding headstones now, I left my dare
