Hallowe'En
It was Hallowe’en all saints night then
When the spirits were about to frighten
And we dressed to scare right to the end
Walking the neighbourhood with friends
It was trick or treat with sweets for all
With each house increasing our haul
We came to the last house on the street
As the front light came on making the scene complete
The knock brought an old man out
And trick or treat we did loudly shout
The old man smiled and produced a piece of candy each
He put the candy in our candy sacks within reach
At the end of the night we went home
Quite pleased with ourselves in our fright night roam
I saw that the old man’s candy was old and hard
And the next day his house was abandoned with weeds in the yard.
