Happy Halloween

On Halloween Night I
found a stone

it was black and
Phantom Blue. As I

looked at it I saw an
eye that reminded

me of you. In mystic
style it split in two

to give out the
'ghost,' it carried and

then it spun for, such
fun it was to see

its sudden move.
Nobody came when I

cried out or perhaps
it was the stars but

deep within the stone
I saw some prison

bars. And behind the
bars there sat a

witch,(Happy Halloween
was her name)

her dark pointed hat
stuck on her head

and when she saw me
she said: “Come

closer still! For the
endless thrill I can

give you money too.
But first you must

turn the key and let
me wander through.

I mean through that
door into a wonder

world, the one called
'Timbuktu' but if

you've never been it
must look the same

to you.” I didn't
mind at all and besides I

was kind and turned
the key for her.

And the witch withdrew
and then went

through to the world
she wanted to. I

stayed around until
there came a sound

of the banshee lament
as if from the

green Emerald Isle so
fair. But when I

looked to see what it
was, there was

nothing there. The
witch,(Happy H),

then asked me if I
might sing a song but

so late it was into
the night I just made a

wish for any Halloween
treat. To my

surprise there was a
bang and the stars

fell from the sky, a
boat floated on its

own and the dead or
drunks wandered

home and wished they
could die. A

million pumpkins with
candle lights

turned on, wolves
howled the house

down and the white
Unicorn with

flashing horn ran
around the town. My

head started to split
but I just made a

wish as a witch,(Happy
H), cast a spell

upon the Earth and
everything around.

There came a bang, a
fantastic flash

and then snow started
to fall right down

there where the bells
had started to peal

out to mark the time
all the souls filled

up with despair.

Now I'd had enough,
the whisky being

too strong for me, so
I lingered over one

more drink, wished the
world 'good

night' and staggered
home to find my

bed. I found my bed
and more too.

Someone was in it, a
witch from jail, in

my dream, that I once
knew, only Happy

Halloween.
