Halloween Night
The moon cast eerie shadows on that dark October night
We went out trick and treating and looked a scary sight
Our costumes were so creepy, we were dressed as ghosts and ghouls
We carried turnip lanterns we’d carved them at our schools
Our bags were fit to bursting and filled with candy treats
And rosy red apples and chocolate, we had so much to eat
The mansion house was gloomy when we walked up to the door
It was recently occupied and we’d never ventured there before
I cautiously rang the doorbell, the door creaked and swung open
A tall wizard stood there, at his side a huge pink frog was croakin
The wizard welcomed us inside and he performed a magic trick
He was such a jolly gentleman, his christian name was Rick
Rick’s pitch black cat crept in the room, how its green eyes shone
Rick waved his magic wand, in a flash the cat was gone!
In its place was Ginnie the witch she was Rick’s lovely wife
She was holding a Halloween cake and she cut us each a slice
Soon it was time for us to go as it was getting rather late
They’ve invited us to learn magic tricks oh I can hardly wait!
We grabbed our bulging bags of sweets and I hurried to my house
I hope I can learn a spell and turn my pesky sister into a mouse !
