~ PUMPKIN TIME ~

Pumpkin time is here again,
Time to play Trick or Treat.
Pumpkin time is here again,
Our spooky friends we'll meet.

See the costumes we have on,
Monsters, ghosts, goblins too.
See the costumes we have on,
Hear us all shout "Boo!"

~Hallowe'en Night~

Twas the night of Hallowe'en
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
Though ghosts floated about.

The winds whistled quietly,
through the bushes and trees.
While monsters and ghouls,
haunted with glee.

The pumpkins were carved,
Fearsome grins all around.
As children in disguises,
Fill the dark streets with sound.

The moon seems alive,
You can almost feel the fright,
and that's part of the fun,
Of this Hallowe'en Night.

So beware all who dare venture,
Out and beyond your safe place.
For Hallowe'en is here,
Is anyone really safe...

The hours pass on,
and the children retire.
But on Hallowe'en night,
Restless souls, never tire.
