Halloween Fun

Twas the night before All Saints Day
and all through the tombs
not a creature was at home.
They were out in costumes.

The stores had been raided
in prep for this night.          
The gore and the gaudy
must be put on just right.

Their fangs were all polished.
Their capes were all pressed.
Ghosts , witches and goblins
all looked their best.
*witch-hat*
Their trick- or- treat bags
were clutched in their hands.
Their tummies would soon fill
with the night’s contraband.

Then out in the dark
there arose such a clatter.
Everyone whirled to see
what was the matter!

What to their wondering eyes
did they see?
It was a miniature space ship
and out hopped E.T.

Mickey and Minnie
strolled by arm in arm.
And even the mummies
could do no harm.

A veritable parade
of characters came.
Laughing and giggling,
having fun was their aim.
*witch-hat*
I heard them exclaim
as they walked out of sight
“Happy Halloween to all!”
It was a great night!
