The Countdown to All Hallows' Eve

It is that time of year again,

When the leaves all turn to red.

There’s a crisp feeling in the air,

And a hot water bottle warms my bed.

The children are all excited,

Just counting down the days.

With costume ideas mounting,

And pumpkins carved in wonderful ways.

Halloween is always exciting,

Halloween is always great.

Not only because of the dressing up,

But because it’s a special date.

I get to share my special day,

With zombies, ghouls and ghosts.

Bringing me presents all dressed up,

I love the chubby pumpkins the most.

And not only do I get presents,

Everyone will get something sweet.

Going to visit the friendly neighbours,

And shouting out...TRICK OR TREAT.

But Halloween is not for everyone,

Halloween can scare some folks.

Be careful who you go and surprise,

Some may think it’s not a joke.

So if you are looking for a ghostly party,

And a little bit of Halloweeny fun.

Come and celebrate at my house,

The countdown to All Hallows’ Eve has begun.
