All Hallows Eve

Darkness falls early and cool winds blow,

As honking gaggles are heard overhead,

Ghouls and Goblins and Princesses roam,

Along with the walking dead,

Hungry vampires desperate for the kill,

So they can get their bloody fill,

Maggots swimming in a pumpkin pie,

And Evil spirits waiting at your sill,

Come out come out wherever you are,

A killer’s on the loose tonight,

Beware the Witch and her minion crew,

And make sure you always stay in the light.

Sweet children for the taking tonight,

Trick them and their parents too,

They’re filled with fresh blood and taste just right,

Halloween has treats for vampires and witches too

Dead black cat lying on the sidewalk,

Bloated eyeballs filled with putrid pus,

Got ran over just last week,

Ninth life snuffed by a loaded school bus,

Now he rides with a demon witch,

With an arched back and an eternal hiss,

Looking for the soul of some sweet child to steal,

So he can forever make the switch.

All dressed up for this yearly run,

In packs on doorsteps they will wait,

“Trick or Treat” their call in the name of fun,

Not knowing what will be their fate.

Darkness falls early and cool winds blow,

Hungry vampires desperate for the kill,

Come out come out wherever you are,

Sweet children for the taking tonight,

Dead black cat lying on the sidewalk,

Now he rides with a demon witch,

All dressed up for this yearly run,

Still looking for the soul of some sweet child to steal.
