Halloween Night

Oh dear, my heart was beating fast It couldn't have been better Halloween night was here At last, the neighborhood would be so austere I was dressed as a little princess Always wanting to be the lovely lady The one caring not to be a mess Even if I do be in love with everything that does be shady I was ten years old I did feel so bold I was with my friend The one since I had always known since I don't know when! We had been successfully trick or treating A small candy treasure had we been amassing When oh sheer wonder, we did come to the gates of a house There where it is said that ventures not even an ignorant mouse For there does be a house so haunted Inhabited by the spirit of the one who lived there An old man who wanted not to be dead An old man who had wanted to live always, as one so young and fair I looked at my friend and she looked at me We both smiled at each other snugly Who does believe in ghosts Are humans not this world's only hosts We boldly walked in the front yard of the dark house We sat up on the porch Cracked some jokes And ate some candies Oh scary wonder! Oh blood freezing happening The front door opened by itself and to us seemed to be beckoning We stood, petrified Feeling our stomachs lurch Come in, sang a raspy voice Come in and make yourselves at ease I shall give you a million candies Come in, you shall not regret it, said the voice My friend took my hand and pulled me in I wanted to run, for I am frail in skin The door closed behind us And we found ourselves, with death in face! It was so gross, looking like a zombie with a dissolving face It's eyes were so yellow It had blackened teeth And it had claws on its hands and feet I will eat you up, it said You are my candy, you are here in my land I gave out a shriek While it gave out a laugh, so bland I felt its teeth tearing my skin I felt my bones crush I saw my friend fall dead And I wondered at why we did venture to this marshland! I accepted death, I was ready for it But I expected not to be saved by a little fairy A real one, she came as a form of light I shall save you, she said, if you do give me all your candy Take it, take it, I managed to yell While I felt that into hell I fell But I did wake up in my bed Only to find that sleeping next to me was my friend Gone was all of my candy My friend was all teary But we did feel grateful We had been saved from a ghoul!
