HALLOWEEN






HALLOWEEN



Will your nerves be able to stand the strain
When you hear tormented souls cry in pain,
Knocks on the door and the rattle of chains
Will all this play havoc with your brains.



The darkness serves as a cloak of fear
You jump at the slightest noise you hear,
What was that light that went by so fast
Could it be a ghost from the past.



You hear feet approaching your front door
Rigid with fear and frozen to the core
You wonder who it could be knocking so loud
Maybe it`s a ghost wrapped in its shroud.



The noises outside give your heart a jolt
With trepidation you slide back the bolt,
You open the door and peep round the crack
And peer into the night that is so black.



Witches on brooms and skeletons galore
Scary masks and there are ghosts for sure,
Of course it`s only Halloween this night
The local kids want to give us a fright.



They carry jack o lanterns to light the way
And this is what they are heard to say,
`Trick or Treat? Trick or Treat?`
Give us something nice to eat.



If I were you I would go for the treat
And then they will quietly retreat,
Back into the darkness of the night
Off to give someone else a fright.
