A Spooky Halloween

The ghosts are on the prowl,
And a werewolf begins to howl.
The full moon shines bright,
On this spooky Halloween night.
An old witch flies on her broom,
The zombie rises from the tomb.
A jack-o-lantern starts to laugh,
A gruesome man, his head cut in half.
A skeleton walks down the street,
Looking for a delicious treat.
Screams heard from a haunted house,
They are afraid of a little old mouse.
Out of the dark shadows, they appear,
Children, their faces filled with fear.
It's just another Halloween,
A night when the dead can be seen.
