Why my Grandpa sleeps in the big wooden box in the cellar,
I don’t know, maybe he thinks there are zombies,
That will catch him in the night.
No, that’s not true,
is it?
Why won’t he sleep in his bed?
I ask him but he just shrugs,
I want to know why but he won’t tell.
As spooky as the dark, dark woods.
As gloomy as can be.
As scary as a flying bat.
As sharp as a wolf’s teeth.
As deathly as ever in your lifetime.
As terrifying as your dreams.
As gloomy, as deathly and scary as World War Two.
Vampires, ghosts, zombies and witches
All very scary things
You’d better watch out
You’d better stay hidden
Especially on All Hallows Eve!
The vamp turned off the lamp
and tramped off to suck my juicy blood.
I felt white with fright,
Oh I felt bad luck, my blood sucked.
It’s a time of year
For us to laugh and cheer
A time for trick or treating
Maybe a bit of eating!!!
Dressing up as a witch
Be careful, witches don’t snitch
Carving pumkins with a scary face
Make sure you’re at a good pace!!!
That’s all I can say but
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
If you’re at a party
or
If you’re trick or treating
Dress up really scary
To scare people off
It’s all a bit off fun
it’s all a bit of gum
So chew it really hard
and
You will think it’s all gone
It might be pink, it might be red
it might be purple or even green
The colour doesn’t matter
unless you’re really dumb
So make it so you like it
and not like you don’t.
I hope Frankenstein’s Monster
won’t come into my room.
If he does then I won’t be safe
anytime soon.
Sweet treats for Halloween
I am sitting… waiting.
I can see the kids coming towards my door.
Then I hear it, that familiar urgent knock.
I open the door and hear the words ‘trick or treat’.
I take action,
throwing mealworms at the pack.
The trick or treaters step back in shock and run away in disgust.
I suppose, you the reader,
Are wondering why I did such a thing?
Well,
My Dad, a lolly enthusiast,
gorged himself on our sweet treats,
falling into a sugar coma.
Flashing lights, sirens and paramedics,
provided the tinsel for my Halloween experience.
As for the Trick or Treaters,
their Halloween lollies were wrapped in fear and sweet in laughter.
