HALLOWEEN GREETING
It’s time for masks and costumes
And big black cats
It’s time for Jack-O-Lanterns
And scary flying bats
It’s time for Trick or Treating
And time for parties, too
It’s time for me to tell you, Dear
I love you

HALLOWEEN
Spider-webs everywhere
And hissing black cats
Lots of scary noises
And low flying bats
Jack-O-Lantern faces
Peer from every porch
Showing off toothy grins
With a candle torch
Little ghosts and goblins
Knocking at my door
Holding ample treat-bags
To which I’ll add some more
Children all in costume
From tiny tot to teen
Parading all around town
Because it’s Halloween
If I was only younger
I’d be in costume, too
Instead, I’ll greet you at my door
And do what goblins do . . . BOO
