Holding ON By The Seat Of My Pants (part 2)
I Don't Know If I should Be Telling You This
You may walk away with a different look
Not Vampirish or down right evil
One of stunned in a world of shock
As if you have seen a ghost
The tradition of Halloween is alive and well
Each year they get more digital and electronic
When my children were young
A lame ghost with just a blinking light that goes off and on
Gave all the others cheers and screams at the same time
Now a different world that we live
One of real danger and illusion is reality
The Halloweens in the past were always just for fun
Nothing to worry
Everyone knew who you would be with
You could stay out late
When the last doorbell would ring
Thats when an older crowd took over
One with a mask the others with a face full of shaving cream
The weather turns cold and many kids had to dress warm
For that one special night out
To prevent from being sick at least for tonight
Who would notice one older lady missing
AmongĀ one hundred kids
The door left open and the lights hanging from the walls
With an endless number of electronic motion sensored creepy and scarey things to make your skin crawl
Who would of guessed a real ghost among the witches and the monsters
When so many kids our dressed up as a fireman and a police lady
A princess and an army man
We can't forget a balerina and a little frog
Where am I going with this story that gives me the chills
I can't wait for the ending
Now someone cut it up a notch
To be continued...
