Spoopy Night

The wind bellows throughout the night,

And time has almost come.

For it will be a wondrous sight,

As the children scream and run.

​

Their cries will ring down the streets,

Howling painfully as they go.

Their footsteps pat in quick beats,

Not knowing how to get home.

​

Strangers beckon them to their doors,

With as many treats as they please.

Slowly they go in groups of fours,

Not know they’ve been deceived.

​

The night grows on, out come the bigs,

To scare them all for good.

They come in herds with their rigs,

Not knowing where they’ll go.

​

And through this all the children run,

From door to endless door.

While the bigs come out to have some fun,

And torture them even more.

​

But soon time comes, homebound they flee,

With excited grins.

Until they return next Halloween,

And again it all begins.
