All Hallows Eve

Once All Hallows Eve so scary

Hungry werewolf lurching hairy

With his sharpened claws came scratching

Firey eyed by my front door

Being the official greeter

I was sure a trick-or-treater

Wanted candy from the handy

Cut out pumpkin on the floor

But a vision only fleeting

Was not tricking, was not treating

But rose up and floated toward me

As I stood amid its roar

Now the passing of each season

Terrifys me, and with reason

By the ghastly ghost afloating…forever more
