Scary Spooky Halloween
The calendar on the wall howls October 31st
Darkness is falling and my journey home awaits
In my dingy dreary office a black cat hisses and snarls
The moon is full and I am ready to meet my fate
I stumble with a haunted look into the eerie night
The streets are teaming with ghosts and ghouls
Around every corner lurks a grotesque gruesome sight
Foaming at the mouth a rabid dog barks ferociously
A witch soars by on a broomstick giving me a start
I dash through the graveyard fearing for limb and life
Pursued by blood dripping vampires almost stops my heart
I make it home ragged and ravaged more dead than alive
A knock on my door brings a throng for trick or treat
Just when I think I am finally out of harm’s way
A cold bloody hairy hand rests on my shoulder how neat
It’s a welcome from my new strange weird neighbours
Who go by the name of the Addams family
Inviting me round to meet their friends the Munsters
I don’t think I am in any danger as far as I can see
Shock horror OMG no one can hear me scream
If you know what I mean – Scary Spooky Halloween

Thank you Don for your sympathy
Just looked in the cracked mirror
And my reflection I cannot see !! - T ?
