‘Twas the night of Halloween and all through the streets,
Children were smiling about all of the yummy treats.
The pumpkins were carved and lit up with great care,
In hopes to give each passerby a great scare.
The grown-ups were nestled all snug on the couch,
Waiting to fill each child’s little pouch.
And Pa watching football and I by the door,
Waiting for screams of more, more, more.
When out in the yard there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the door I flew like a flash,
I did it so fast I got whip lash.
The moon on the kids and their costumes galore,
Shone bright on the street of ghosts, goblins and more.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a devil, a witch and a princess with real tears.
As I bent down to ask what was causing her to cry,
I saw an empty bag and I didn’t know why.
So I emptied my bowl and loaded her bag just right,
And proclaimed HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL AND TO ALL A FRIGHTFUL NIGHT!
