October First

October First By Franklin Price 10/01/2015 October first, time's moving on Just thirty days away, The gremlins and goblins Will be coming out to play. They will be very hungry, All your candy they will eat. When they come around on Halloween, To your house for Trick or Treat There will be ghosts and Dracula s, mummies and undead too, super heroes, pirates, Star Wars characters for you Monsters in their mother's arms Too young to walk about Toddlers holding daddys' hands Come to your house and shout Trick or Treat they sometimes say May take a prompt or two Or may be silent as a lamb When they shove their bag at you Give them all some candy That's why Halloween is here Get ready for the next group You can hear them drawing near Most of them are youngsters With bed times not too late Must quickly take your candy And be home in bed by eight
