Jack-o-lanterns grinning madly,
On this dark night,
During this, the spectres dance,
Cackling with sheer delight.
The houses act like beacons,
Shining, glowing lights,
That shield all the children from,
All the gruesome sights.
Such as covens of witches,
Making a frothing brew,
Or vampires making victims of,
People that know you.
I hope this hasn't put you off,
Going trick-or-treating,
The night seems to last forever,
But actually only fleeting.
For when all are asleep at eventide,
Angels clear the world for christmas time.*
