Halloween Night
Halloween means goblins and nightmare dreams
mixed with candies, chuckles, and distant screams.
And costumed kids; chanting 'trick-or-treat,'
working through the neighborhood, street by street.
Besides Christmas, it's the best time of year
a festival of fantasy and fear.
Ghoulish getups attract both young and old:
for a treasure in treats, rewards the bold.
When fairies and witches knock late at night,
offer candy, if they give you a fright.
Teenage tricksters carry a bar of soap
to scribble on windows, acting so dope.
The true monsters emerge after midnight
stalking the shadows while avoiding the light.
Zombies and vampires emerge from their graves:
drawn to the brains and blood of fools and knaves.
Beware of demons the Devil lets loose:
should they approach you, you'd better vamoose.
Halloween lets evil spirits roam free
and they're scarier than they ought to be.
