A Halloween Fright

Pumpkin oh pumpkin how I love thee...

When I come home you smile at me
Sitting on the porch so safe and sound

Keeping spirits away from all around
You shine your light 
so that I can see
Ghosts and goblins that want to haunt me

"trick or treat" They say to me
as I give them some candy and scream 
"Let me be"

Your light burns out and gives me a fright
So I run in the house and say "Goodnight"
