Fright Fest At My Nest

Hallowed Eve's, shuttering fright fest
Stealthy alias proffer lest
Ghoulish mavens chicanery manifest
Dupery, duplicity your mettle to test

Your makeup, clothes carefully screen
Bedeck your mask with orange and black sheen
Your collar coif, your black hair thoughtfully preen
Flowing cape with crafty folds wean

Avoid witches cold, steely stare
Her hexes and hoaxes beware
Stewing kettle with potions laid bare
Bubbling toxins your host will share

Accept your meager fare
Consume your rancid nightmare
Then quietly from my craven lair
With your jouls and remaining wits pare
