Trick Or Treat Deception

No one dare approach that farm house near the dairy

alone I tentatively knocked the door very wary

door creaked, it opened, trick or treat I said solitary 

I then froze with shock, he looked so evil, savagery

His eyes were bloodshot dark red, colour of blackberry 

I don't scare easily but this was really scary,

His hair was matted, His wrinkled face was very hairy

all my friends had disappeared they had found sanctuary 

the description of this evil man was legendary 

little did my friends know, HE WAS MY UNCLE BARRY..
