Halloween Scare
The horror of All Hallow's Eve was a night of fright,
it was the time of year when Johnny rose from the dead-
All the townspeople shivered and were covered in dread,
it was nothing except an abhorring tragic sight.
The harvest moon ascended and something wasn’t quite right.
His fingers made of rusty and razor-sharp knives,
they were seeping of crimson blood from old casualties-
When his victims took their last breath his fingers would freeze,
as they all were begging and pleading for their poor lives.
He would slash the men’s throats then go murder their dear wives.
No one was as scary, no one as horrifying,
as the town watched all the children crying and dying-
For every year they’re filled with fear…when Johnny arrives.
