WELCOME TO HALLOWEEN
(T. Beechey)
A scary face,shrieks in the night,a bloodstained trace 'neath a yellowed light
As children race for their candied delight
Welcome to Halloween
Hoot owls echo their mournful wails,a cold wind howls down a darkened trail
As each child prowls for their edible grail
Welcome to Halloween
Devils and demons in shadowed disguise
Amidst the faint screaming of a distant demise
All of it seeming to be real for our eyes
But only a dream not to be realized
Skeletal remains of gristled bones,rattled chains and ghostly moans
"Trick or treat" refrains in joyful tones
Welcome to Halloween
Black cats walk into glows which ebb,coffins and bats and spiderwebs
As some are like that of their favorite celeb
Welcome to Halloween
Witches and goblins,werewolves and warlocks
All with wide grins at every door knock
Ghouls and vampires,monsters and such
All sharing desires of confectionary touch
As zombies claw from their makeshift graves
And mummies gnaw through their bandaged staves
Don't drop your jaw,that's how we behave!
Welcome to Halloween
