The Devil Danced at Midnight

The devil danced at midnight
beneath a waning moon
with his minions before him,
twas a sight to make one swoon.

He pranced in jubilation,
then capered with a shout,
his arms flailed like a windmill
as his legions danced about.

He cursed the God of heaven
and the demon horde gave tongue,
he vowed to steal each mortal soul, 
every single one.

But first a plan was needed
to carry out the deed,
some way to blind humanity
so no danger was perceived.

"Our appearance must be winsome,
our ways be just a lark,
we musn't let them ever know
our agenda is so dark."

"Let's make for them a holiday,
the best they've ever seen,
we'll give it to their children
and we'll call it Halloween."
