Trick or Treat

Tonight is the night
for really strange sights;
for ghosts and witches;
all things to give us frights!

They’re prowling the dark
with menacing growls.
Sometimes the werewolves
will make spine-chilling howls.

They creep on porches.
come right to your door.
Scary visages,
forever they want more.

Always they’re hungry.
They’re begging to feed
to satisfy cravings,
and to satisfy need.

It is the one night
they’re looking to eat
all of the candy
from trick or treat!
