Trick Or Treat Scare

There was a young fellow from Deets
Who went out for Halloween treats.
He knocked on a door,
Ghoul covered in gore
Quite frightened him out of his sheets.

He dropped all his treats on the street.
The chasing ghoul then stopped to eat. 
"When all's said and done
This isn't much fun",
He said, as he hastened his feet.

Be careful on this Halloween.
Beware creatures you've never seen.
Like the lad from Deets
Who was scared from sheets 
By ghoul who was rabid and mean.

Four way tie for 2nd.
