Trick Or Treat

Macabre stairs that creek horrendously beneath her feet that creepy little girl descending owns hair as fine as wheat Shadows play on the wall like evil puppeteers of old they are silhouettes of gloom, exploiters of the underworld I'm told With gutterish ***** she calls out to the old Master of defeat " Trick or treat give me something good to eat " Cognizant of goblins, ghosts and Satan's world now feared Halloween is but a darkness seized by living creatures geared. Hybrid breeds of children well disguised with brawl Open doors left ajar walking mongrels staggers call "Trick or treat give me something good to eat" Grap a costume meet the blondie with the gory purple lips its Halloween with all its dread, here have a bag of chips! "Trick or treat give me something good to eat" Oct 29 2022 Sponsor Emile Pinet Contest Name Halloween
