Mom and Dads Candy Treats

Twas the night before Halloween
All costumes were chosen hang by their beds
Thoughts of pumpkins and candy treats
Knocking on doors waiting for something sweet

Yet the ghost and goblins were getting ready to
The witches and devils were creating a brew
No child this night will be safe from fright
For even the dead will arise this scary night

Black cats and witches sailing across the moon
Tombs will be opened with old bones rattling
Headless horseman ridding down streets
Stealing these children's candy treats

All fears becoming real as the go door to door
Once back home a calm will set counting their booty
Then real fear sets in when mom and dad
Steal the good ones that night,

After they have fallen asleep
