HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Thunder and lightning on this night;
witches, ghosts, and goblins are seen.
No full moon to shed light
on a dark and frightening Halloween.

Evil forces are working hard tonight,
casting spells to overpower all that's good,
while we anxiously wait for midnight,
so our souls won't become their food.

Blood-fanged vampires come out of caskets,
their goal to have a feast;
No candy filling Halloween treaters baskets;
they are just victuals for the beasts.

Claps of thunder are heard again,
the trick or treaters are unaware,
that the clock reads only ten,
and monsters are following them everywhere.

Lightning strikes, and the beasts are seen
as the children move from door to door.
Never could they have imagined that Halloween
would be more than they bargained for.
