Mysterious Night

Celebrations galore on all Hallows eve Eyes have a tendency to play tricks and deceive Youngsters anticipate receiving a trick or a treat Pranksters get a thrill from watching their victims retreat Adults have opportunity to join in the fun Perhaps dress as monsters and bash two parties not one Bump into a scarecrow within a corn maze Be careful or you'll wind up like a skeleton if you're lost for days Enter at your own risk, a creepy haunted house Hear a loud shriek around a corner, step lightly as a mouse Beaming through the darkness is the light of a full moon Eerie are the sounds of howling, you hope not to run into what's making them soon Shadows are lurking, dancing and taunting The trees themselves seem to be haunting Look down as something brushes your leg, it happens to be a black cat Swooping down towards you, is it a vampire or just simply a bat? Crows are hovering above as you're nearing the cemetery Unarmed, thoughts of a zombie apocalypse are a tad scary Endless are the possibilities as your imagination takes flight So much could happen under the magical influence of Halloween, a mysterious night
