My Costume

If I were a child on this Halloween
I’d have the scariest costume you’ve ever seen
All ghost and all ghouls, monsters and fiends
Would fear what I’d wear on this Halloween
The most horrible face, with eyes set aglow
With teeth that would bite, hair black like a crow
A true scary creature of no natural descent
Perhaps a candidate for our president   LOL
