This Trick's a Treat

Last year when it was Halloween
I was frighted so
When my friends went to trick-or-treat
I didn't want to go
But now I'm really tired 
Of being frightened sick
So I went out to by back yard 
And got myself a stick

I got a knife and cleaned off
Most of the bark and twigs
The small end was my handle
But the business end was big
It was long enough to swat 
A bat, out of the sky
And hard enough to pop out
A mummy's evil eye

I can't wait 'till a zombie
Sneaks up to steal my brain
Where I hit him with my stick
I'm sure he'll feel that pain
And all the other creatures
That want to cause a fright
Will be spending Halloween 
In the ER on that night
