Night of Halloween

Come all you ghouls
Come all you ghosts
For come night
Is Halloween
The gleam of the twilight
To a foggy, cool dusk
Haunts lie in the night
Keep low. Be hushed.
Over the shine of the moon
Witches fly on their brooms
Bats take leathery flight
The vampires looking for a bite.
Hear the wind howl
The werewolves share the same tune
They’ll be on the prowl.
They might be looking for you.
Then just down the road.
The graveyard’s full of dancing bones.
Skeletons cackle and clack.
With zombies all with hunched backs.
On through midnight.
To the break of the dawn.
The haunts and the spirits
Come out on the lawns.
But there’s no need to be afraid
It’s just the spooks
Coming out to play
To bewitch the night in a magical scene
On this and every Halloween.
