HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It`s that spooky time of year

when ghosts and spirits fly

filling us all with fear

as they pass us by

Halloween spooks all around

Skeletons, witches, vampires too

watch out if you step outside

for they are watching you

Walk with caution and with care

Don`t go out and roam

black cats on the prowl beware

for you are not alone

Spirits of the night are here

searching for their prey

Don`t let them get near to you

or they`ll carry you away

Haunted houses beckon

come on come inside

Do not let them fool you

You wont get out alive

Witches with their eyes aglow

brewing their poisonous potions

Don`t be tempted to taste them

they`ll rob you of emotions

Skeletons walk, rattle and moan

they`ll fill you all with fear

Do not listen when in sweetened voice

they say come with us dear

Pumpkins with their eyes on fire

make you shiver and quake

Keep very far away from them

or you`ll pay for your mistake

Little spooks come to your door

shouting Trick or Treat

be sure you have on hand

something good and sweet

and as the midnight hour

reaches to greet the dawn

be sure to stay inside

where you will be safe and warm

Dedicated to all my grandchildren
