Trick or Treat
The leaves gently brush across the crisp autumn tarmac
Leaving a carpeted wonder behind
The clock strikes six and everything’s dark
Just in time for the wizards and witches
The hour has arrived for the treaters to roll out
Down the street on ghostly skateboards
Little goblins, little witches, little ghosts, little trolls
March down the street in the town
Trick or treat come their calls as they near
With a knock on your door outside
Little giggles play out as you draw near
As treats come out little hands come about
Happy Halloween to all and goodnight
Off they tread through crisp leaves with little time
To fright down the street with their rhyme
To haunt another with a knock and a shock
Their bags are filled high with a smile
It’s seven o’clock, a yawn edges onto their face
It’s been a good lot, now they’re ready to trot
Back home to bed ‘til next year
Happy Halloween and goodnight
Thank you for my fright
Until next year
When Halloween comes again
Pumpkin blown out
Decorations taken down
Treats are all gone
A quiet night can be had
We sit and reflect until a door slams
With ghostly hands
Oh my, oh dear
What was that?
