A Halloween Poem

THERES SO MUCH TO DO AT HALLOWEEN
FIREWORKS AND BONFIRES ON THE GREEN
I SEE A WITCH, AND A GHOST
THESE ARE THE COSTUMES I LOVE THE MOST
THERE’S SCARY BATS
 AND BLACK CATS
AND TRICK OR TREATING
AND CANDY EATING
AND WHATS THAT BRIGHT THING OVER THERE
OH MY GOD IT’S A FUNFAIR
I SEE FIVE CHILDREN PLAYING A GAME
THEY’RE MOVING SO FAST IT’S QUITE INSANE
I SEE BATMAN AND ROBIN ASWELL
AND OVER THERE IS THE DEVIL IN HELL
THERE IS A YOUNG DEAD SCHOOL GIRL
AND ON HER FOREHEAD IS A LITTLE CURL
I SEE A ZOMBIE GREEN AND DUSTY
AND FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ IS THE TINMAN ALL RUSTY
AND HOW CAN WE FORGET DOROTHY AND THE SCARECROW
AND THE LION AND THE MUNSHKINS ALL SHORT AND VERY LOW AND THERE IS A BOY ABOUT TO FALL
AND THERE IS A GIRL THAT IS VERY TALL
AND THERE ARE THE TEENAGERS LIGHTING BANGERS
AND OVER BY THAT HOUSE IS SKELETONS ON HANGERS
THERE IS MY FRIENDS MARK AND PAUL
AND JOHN AND LUKE SCREAMING LOL
HALLOWEEN IS A NIGHT FOR FUN
IT’S A NIGHT WHERE YOU ACT LIKE THERE’S NO SUN
BUT MAKE SURE YOU STAY SAFE AT THIS EVENT
AND PLAY SAFE GAMES LIKE DUNK FOR A CENT
NOW I AM GOING HOME TO EAT LOTS OF SWEETS
AND THEN SLEEP PEACEFULLY ON THOSE CLEAN SHEETS
