Halloween
I wear my fancy costume.
Is that a skeleton you exhumed?
I hope it’s just a display.
With a sound effect that plays.
Is that blood covering your face?
Is that a monster prepared to chase?
Your house is a little creepy.
With spider webs hanging in a tree.
You invite me inside.
Was that a ghost that cried?
I suggest we go to the party across the street.
You don’t have anything good to eat.
But then you pull out a severed toe.
In the oven is roast crow.
I say goodbye and goodnight.
To avoid a curse at midnight.
As I’m leaving, I can’t help but see.
A normal bowl of candy.
I’m a little hungry, so I take a piece.
Walking home, I feel unease.
I think I’m a werewolf, with this feeling imbued.
That house is haunted, I know that to be true!
