The Halloween Party

ITs another Halloween There are groups walking the street Looking happy with themselves And their stash from trick or treat We’ve got toffees by the door And a bag of lollipops I’ve taped up the letterbox To stop unwanted drops The tree outside is webbed The pumpkin lights are lit I’m dressed up like Hagrid But my costume doesn’t fit Waiting for the neighbours And their throng of ghosts and ghouls For the annual spooky party We host again like fools And suddenly the house is full Excitements on the rise The dog’s under the table Fearing her demise Hoops thrown around witches hats The mummy has been dressed Now it’s time for Zombie Tag The dogs looking more stressed The din moves to the garden security lights ablaze The apples have been bobbed So now it’s time to graze. A table spread with orange cakes With crisps and monster munch Soon looks like a tornadoes past Did these kids not have their lunch ? Can we watch the telly now ? I hear a little pumpkin plead Casper the friendly ghost is on Yes ! i say - just what we need Now it’s time for the grown ups Who look exhausted tired and grey Eying up some different spirits - Called Merlot and Cabernet ! “Mums fallen in the bobbing bowl” It’s tipped and made a flood “ Bit too much red wine ?’ asked Bob No I said - It’s vampire blood ! A sleepy superman appears Arms outstretches I hug him tight It’s time to wrap this party up See you all on firework night
