Scaring the Kids On Halloween Night

Even the trees are gnarly on Halloween night
mean black cats arch their backs, wind does not feel right
Nasty sticky wet ghouls are climbing out of their crypts
Trick-or-treaters tell all about the candy, showing lose lips.

vampires are laughing as they head for your neck.
Werewolves are howling, ghosts come at your beck
it’s the night for all kinds of ungodliness to prance about
Quit your crying, you were the ones begging to come out.

yes, that is a werewolf, he is getting closer too.
Maybe he won’t get you this time, but your cousin Lou.
Trick-or-treating is dangerous, the jacks are alive.
We will be lucky if we get home without a witch’s skydive.
