Halloween Night Spectacular

She sits on a broomstick, one that’s floating Looking at the full moon, she is gloating She holds the fiercest lit pumpkin ever Glowing with a demented face clever Below is a witch near a huge cauldron She’s stirring greatly for a large potion Both of them cackling evilly with glee While pumpkins shutter on ground fearfully An owl calls his song along the long night And the bats carry their own sounds with might There are red blinking eyes within the tree The witches both desire to be quite free Free of the restrictions of Halloween They want to go out any night between
