“Halloween Night”

We go to the Door, and knock real loud,
And holler “Trick or Treat”.
We hope for cake and candy,
Or something really sweet.

And we forget, about the code,
In which Halloween was based.
Then, we talk of “all” we got,
From every single place!!!

Forgetting they could trick us,
Or scare us from our wits.
Then we say “no” candy,
Well, that place was the pits.

But, think!!! For just a moment,
Of what we do and say.
We go out late at night,
And for a Trick or Treat, we pray.

A night when ghosts and goblins,
Are said to freely roam.
Until we get our goodies,
And then we’re safely home.

So when you’re “Trick or Treating”, my child,
And the ghouls are out in flight,
Take it slow and easy,
And have a Happy Halloween Night!!!
