Ghosts, and Goblins, and Ghouls, Oh My

Ghosts and goblins come in waves on Halloween, The spookiest spooks and ghouliest ghouls you've ever seen. They really haven't come to haunt, It's not your mortal soul they want, Just your Skittles, Candy Corn, and Jelly Beans. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, hags, Witches, warlocks, wraiths in rags, They won't suck your blood or eat you, They're just here to trick-or-treat you. When the doorbell rings, you'd best fill up their bags. If brave of heart, you might invite them in. Your lair is dark, the fiendish games begin. Apples to bob, a tail to pin, Brew to imbibe, a bottle to spin, As party monsters celebrate All Hallows E'en.

ummm... I'll just leave some candy in a bowl on the front porch. Invite them in to play spin the bottle? Imagine that? No thank you! A really creative write, Jim.
