Trick Or Treat
Hallowed specters fill the air;
goblins and ghoulies have no cares.
Hidden in the darkest night;
creatures scramble with delight.
Glowing eyes and mournful howls;
leave behind the hootie owls.
Specters swirling with delight;
flit too and fro beneath street lights.
The haul they take upon this eve;
confections that are sure to please.
If you should fail to bring delight;
you will be tricked upon this night.
No exemptions will be given;
lest you’ve rolled a lucky 7.
The game of Halloween has rules;
watch and beware those nasty ghouls.
Your generosity sets you free;
evil creatures, you won’t see.
Just children in their costumes bright;
Neath the glowing moon’s bright light.
Upon this night, you must make haste;
there is no moment you can waste.
Don’t forget the Jack-o-lantern;
it frightens nearly every phantom.
