Halloween

Upstairs in the attic loud and louder creaks were heard
Weird moaning pierced the silence from the basement below
Floating past the window a  phantom had us all scared
 While in the graveyard vampirish bats   did  flit and glow
Overhead the  moon pale and large   shed its spectral light
As skeletons did from their tombs and  slumbers arise
Just another Halloween night of terrors and of  fright
Where the cackling  witch flew off with her human sacrifice
