"my Halloween As a Kid"

My greatest Halloween was so many years ago.
We was the tin man the lion and I was the scarecrow.

We had so much fun walking up and down the streets.
Knocking on the doors and screeming trick or treat.

There was one house down the street that scared us all.
The man that lived there his name was Fred and was 7ft.tall.

As we walked toward the house we heard someone screem.
It was that scary man Fred saying OOOOO it's Halloween.

We took off running for our house as fast as we could run.
I got home and I had wet my pants that was one Halloween
                 that was no fun.
       Teresa Skyles

Wrote for Paula Swanson's Halloween of years past contest.
