Halloween Night

Goblins, ghouls, and monsters too,
walk this night to terrify you.

They creep, they crawl,
leaving blood trails on the wall.

Twisting, slithering,
with bodies slowly withering.

Hungry for flesh--
preferably young and fresh.

So lock the doors, turn off the light,
pull the bedcovers tight tonight.

And pray you’re not the one they keep
now that Halloween haunts your sleep.
