Halloween

Beware, tonight a vigil keep They're in the shadows, as you sleep Ghosts and phantoms, all that's scary Things of which you need be wary This night, my friend, is Halloween When nothing is as it may seem Spiders webs and spectral visions Haunt the night with apparitions Vampires lurking in the attic Witches casting spells dramatic Howling wolves and screeching demons Zombies, ghouls and evil heathens Skeletons with skulls all bony Dripping blood and mouths so foamy Wraiths a-dancing in the moonlight Laughing, crying, what a grim sight Jack-o'-Lanterns, apple bobbing Time for fun with hearts a-throbbing Children dressed in outfits scary Pointy hats and wigs all hairy Trick-or-treating, sweets and goodies Kids stood at your door in hoodies Spooky masks hide faces smiling Into buckets chocs are piling All the ghosts are getting sleepy Vampires too are feeling weepy Ghouls and phantoms bedtime calling All asleep now, ‘til the morning ©️24/10/2024 Valerie Dohren
