Halloween Night

Around the corner the old house stood Though abandoned, it was lived in still By creatures from the nearby woods But its eerie look gave many a chill But on Halloween some sought their thrills And into the old house they ventured in Thinking they'd see nothing but a mouse As they walked around with nervous grins But they got the scare of their lives When a vampire from his coffin rose And bared his fangs to bite their throats They ran like hell and through the door they did bolt Around the corner the old house stood A haunted house in the neighborhood At the door the vampire now greets Those who dare to stop for trick or treats -----

this was adorable for Halloween. I remember now that my poem in this contest lost too, so that will be a good entry for ME to use next time he does a Screwed contest!!
