Knock

Approached by a witch on Halloween one should, look her straight in the eye and knock on wood.
Quote - Poet’s own
It's Halloween night, beware of the knock Safeguard yourselves and have your doors on lock There's witches on prowl, who cast a dire spell Avoid those spells for they never do well. Night sky is riddled with witches on brooms With scary cats sat on the back they zoom Surrounded by bats waiting to attack Anyone out there, for a tasty snack. Do not be tempted to sup a witch’s brew There’s no telling the damage it could do For they boil innards of rats and lizards Be cautious as most witches are wizards. Close your windows for ghosts are on the scene If they sneak in you are likely to scream Watch out for ghouls, they are demons and pests And they don’t listen to angry protests. It may be trick or treaters knock your door Or devilish scamps who have no candour Put treats outside, no tricks they’re a have not Hark this advice before you get a knock.
