Alone in my lair I sit and wait For nightly creatures To pass through the gate A pirate, a cowboy A fairy, a ghost All trick or treating With eyes full of hope Approaching the door Their step they do slow Who’s to ring the bell Only time will it show One brave little finger Shakily extends Upon glowing button Doth press it in The barking of hounds Raise such a clamor Eerie sounds escape The looming dark manor Heavy footsteps approach And the door begins to creak Just a little at first Then with a mighty sweep Silent gasps escape As wide open eyes All set themselves On the coveted prize In unison they cry Without missing a beat The well rehearsed line ‘Trick or Treat’ With outstretched arms And grins from ear to ear Holding their pumpkins Cascading candy they hear An earnest ‘Thank you’ Rings though the night They turn on a dime Heals in full flight To awaiting parents They show their new plunder Where to next They ask in excited wonder Children and adults Of all ages it seems Equally enjoy A Happy Halloween! |
