Potpourri Ghosts- Contest
Potpourri Ghosts
Knock and a bang and a yell
Wake up to the call of the Halloween Ghosts!
My girls all in their teens dressed as witches with brooms cried loud with friends
Fill our decorated baskets with treats
The night is long and
All our ancestors souls are hungry
Fill our decorated baskets with treats
Tonight they want their grandest feast
Or they'll make your quivering hearts bleed
In the rivers of Hades!
A potpourri of sizes
In a masquerade planned
Over a month or two
Loudly order all.
My heart yearns for the fulfilment of their impish desires and silently pray
Pull up the blinders of your windows
You sleepy friendly neighbours
Lookout at all these angelic pumpkin heads
Wendy Witches, green goblins, cutest devils
Bold batmen religiously donning costumes
Ripping apart souls of normal wear.
Thus having tricked you
They joyously whisper at having
Spelt fear in the hearts of their muscled uncles and stern aunts
Proudly these little creepers
Jest pretending to be nocturnal predators
Of their elders hiding their uncontrolled smiles
Behind their guises of Halloween Night
Gamble baskety treats or a night to be tricked.
