It’s spooky Halloween season

That gives us all good reason

To dress up in costumes ghostly,

A fun time for children mostly.

Hobgoblins will roam the street

Searching for tasty goodies to eat,

Ringing doorbells they will greet

With a chorus of “trick or treat”?

Odd and scariest spooks galore

Will be scurrying to every door,

Trying to be the first ogre in line

As adults fill bags one at a time.

Worn-out parents and children alike

Will brave the ghastly autumn night

Harvesting treasures of sweet delight

While babies cry from gruesome fright.

As All hallows’ Eve comes to an end

And time for little monsters to go in

They head for home with faces grim,

Dragging goody sacks behind them.

Have yourself a rowdy Halloween,

Hope it’s the spookiest you’ve seen,

We wish you bountiful “trick or treat”

And you bag lots of sweet stuff to eat.
