Halloween Eve
The moon was lost behind a cloud
When something Weird went by
I tried to see what went round
But it flew so fast and high.
I don't believe that witches fly
Riding so high in the sky
But that is what I saw
Riding on broomsticks made of straw.
The stars were gone, the night was dark
When something else took place
Standing there in the park
There was a gruesome face.
A skeleton with corpse like face
I don't believe in the zombie race
But that is what I saw
Well I stood and looked in awe.
Under the moons eerie light
With fangs dripping red
Another creature of the night
With one bite you are bled.
I don't believe in vampires
When your life expires
But that is what I saw
When the moon was low.
All too soon, the mellow moon
Lights an empty late night street
Children dreaming in the bedroom
Of next years trick or treat.
