The Night That Gave Me Fright

Twas a cold and windy night with leaves crackling
Spooks and goblins floating through the air
Black cats and witches zooming across the moon
Bellies with hunger wishing for candy treats

Dark as midnight with candlelit lights
Giggling with laughter while knocking on doors
Trick or treat was said as the squeaking door opened
A wolf in sheep's clothing then appeared

Holding a skull in their hand full of candy and treats
Take only one was said if you take more I will use your head
Scared with fright we only took one
Then father smiled so we took his skull and ran

We tricked him 
Leaving him empty handed
