Close Enough To Halloween

Close enough for Halloween Poem They hide in the attic all through the day Waiting for nighttime to come out and play They go bump in the night making scary sounds They are ready to make their nightly rounds Your afraid of the closet don’t look under the bed Seems to me you might find the living dead Hide under your cover they’ll come closer you fear You hear something rattle they are so near The sound will stop so close to your room You shiver in fear as you wait for your doom The noise gets louder can’t take it anymore A shadow appears the opening of the door You close your eyes afraid of what you will see You plead and you pray please don’t bother me But you have to look ready for the attack Oh it’s only your cats wanting a midnight snack Marty West
