Beware Traveler Upon This Night

Looming shadows ‘neath sapphire skies;
“whooo whooo” the hooty owl cries.
Jack-o-lanterns scowl beneath the trees
as we shiver in the chilling breeze.

Where tombstones tower above the lands
and a blue corn moon glaringly expands;
beware the zombies that walk the night
and werewolves howling in the moonlight.

Amorphous specters flit and float,
as Charon rows past in his boat.
Keep your neck wrapped up very tight,
for vampires are all out tonight.

All Hallows Eve’s a frightening time,
for lurking monsters it’s just sublime!
