Halloween Creatures of the Night

(10/5/11) This was the night that I was told Not to walk this lonely dark road For this was the night that they would all come out This is what Halloween was about. Out of the shadows they all came And many of them was known by name. There was Frankenstein, the werewolf, the mummy too. There was count Dracula and his batty friends The line continued - there was no end. Then came the witches mixing their brew In a cauldron pot - would this line ever stop. The ghouls , the goblins and the ghosts With their glasses ready to toast. Backing up the line with sickle in hand Was the grim reaper, the most feared in the land. They would go to every street in every town Letting the kids know that they was around. They hide behind every shadow and every wall As the kids came to call. Out of their hiding places they would jump out and shout The kids would turn and run about. Every where they turned there was one of them No one to help them - not even a friend. The children going to homes with their Halloween baskets Till they got to the house with the open casket Count Dracula would sit up and turn his head Pretty comical for one who’s dead. They would turn and run as fast as their feet would allow Some of them didn’t even touch the ground. The creatures of the night look forward to this every year They have so much fun and instill their fear. BOOBOO
