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
                       -----
