Trick Or Treat

Luminaries lining stairs
Ghosts and goblins walk in pairs

Jack-o-lanterns flaming faces
Standing guard on all their places

Frantic feet on crunching leaves
Only on"All Hallows' Eve"

Doorbells dinging: bony witches
Offer treats from candy dishes

Spooky mansions: quite a sight
Haunted yearly, for one night

Staying out for just one more
Waiting breathless at the door

"Trick or Treat!" the end is near
See you all again next year
