Halloween Poem # 27...Doing a Doubletake!

Witches,ghouls and other spooks
Consort on Halloween night
All the ghosts and gobbledygooks
Are giving us quite a fright!

Up the darkened streets they go
Into hidden spaces
With their eyeballs all aglow
On their scary faces

You can run but you can't hide
They will seek you out
Best that you just stay inside
As they creep about

But wait! Let's take a closer look
At these immortal souls
Watch as the creatures we mistook
Reach into our candy bowls!
