Halloween Fun

Halloween Fun

Factor in now Halloween,

To fancy ghosts we’ve never seen,

The goons and goblins in the air,

Come swooping in from everywhere.

It’s fun, if nothing else, the frights,

To capture us, these lengthening nights,

A twelve-foot ghost with walking stick,

Above the floor he moves quite quick.

The lady in her white-laced gown,

All colorless; her frosted frown,

Suspended there; she shrieks and cries,

Now, stares at us with soulless eyes.

We dare not speak of these to friends,

These fancied ghouls who’ve met their ends,

Who dither-dather in our rooms,

Or fly away on magic brooms.

Perhaps they’ll think of us as mad,

Or, pity us with eyes so sad,

But, now’s the time for ghosts to cheer,

For Halloween is drawing near!
