The little children say
All cute and sweet
On all hallows eve
“Trick or treat”
The little pleading
faces
Look up with innocence
Wide eyed angels
Full of malevolence
A cute kid you can
trust
I haven’t met yet
And what they really
mean
Is tricks and threats
On all hallows eve when the sun has set
The ghosts and ghouls
come out to play
With dripping fangs
and bloody claws
They prowl the street
in search of prey
And when to my door
the fiends appear
I tell the “Trick or
Treaters” to go away
When the little boys and girls
Knock at my door for
candy
I must give them what
they want
“Or else” is their
modus operandi
So, with a false smile
I comply
But under my breath I
pray
That by the time
Christmas comes
They’ll all have tooth
decay
It’s here again
That day we all dread
When once more
We fear the rise of
the dead
But fear not
Our salvation is at
hand
We shall be saved
By an unlikely Band
So be assured
When the time is near
Ghosts and ghouls
Will all quake in fear
When night falls
All the undead will
cower
Trembling in awe
Come the witching hour
As armed with sacks
Our great costumed
army
Will roam the streets
To drive the evil
spirits barmy
So, to protect
yourselves
Keep a proper payment
handy
When the costumed army
Come knocking for some
candy
Jack O’Lantern’s light
Gazing out into the
night
In the window there
Staring out a scary
stare
With your
unsympathetic grin
And glowing orange
skin
Are you there to keep
the spirits out?
With your jagged
leering mouth
Or is your gnarled and
toothless grin
There to invite the
evil in?
Are you wearing devils’ horns?
Now I get one of those
winks
You’re wearing the
tail as well?
You naughty little
minx
You are clearly more
devilish
Than anyone else
thinks
Is it because it’s
Halloween
Or a few too many Drinks
Are you wearing Halloween knicks?
Proper novelty
underwear
All festively decked
down below
In a suitably seasonal
pair
It doesn’t matter the
decor
It will make an old
man stare
Just you in your
Halloween knickers
What wonderful
Witching hour fare
