It was the night before Halloween,
and all through the pumpkin patch,
not a single one had been loosened for some to snatch.
The bats were all roosting and snug in their cave,
while the skeleton-dead lay awake in the grave.
A ghost in its kerchief, and a ghoul in its cap,
had just fell asleep for a long, screaming nap.
Undead beasts howled at the moon,
assuring everyone that Halloween would be arriving soon.
Then, all of a sudden a skeleton’s jaw began to chatter,
and every creature knew of the matter.
An old clock chimed out into the night:
“Happy Halloween to All and to All a Good Fright!”
Driving home one Halloween night,
I thought I saw a witch take flight.
My heart beat fast, I broke a sweat,
wondering what would happen next.
Then a Ghoul ran past my car,
on his face a deep, red scar.
A Ghost appeared next to my seat,
His wails grew louder, his pain was deep.
I hurried home, my tires squealing,
My eyes were teary, my head was reeling.
It was only then I realized my fright,
I was on the road Halloween night.

Halloween night
on hallows eve
when the moon is out
when the sky is pitch black
and the Goblins come out
when ghosts are set free
to taunt all the children
when the witches fly high
into the sky
to get to their cauldron
when vampires seek out
for someone to bite
when trick-or-treaters
are in a big fright
but it's all just a myth
right?
