Halloween is finally here
Tricks and treats galore
Little ones all dressed up
Eager to be out the door

Witches with their brooms
A goblin here and there
A multitude of monsters
Sporting claws and hair

A beautiful princess maiden
Angels with halo and wings
A ghost floating slowly by
Clowns, rock stars and kings

Bags full of assorted candy
Maybe a shiny coin or two
Red apples a healthy treat
Tricks are played on you

A strange but fun holiday
Enjoyed by young and old
With haunted houses to visit
And scary stories to be told
