A Halloween Spook

Beware of ghosts and beasties in the night!!
The things that go "bump" might be following to give fright!
Monsters and goblins around every bend,
Better run home before the day's end!

Hide under your covers,
Lay totally still.
Pretend you don't notice the closet door opening,
Or the air that gives chill.
You don't hear the footsteps
That sound in your room.
Or see the witch flying by on her broom
You shut your eyes tight,
If only for a moment.

You awake,
To a bright and sunny morning.
Those sounds you heard,
The things you saw,
Don't seem so frightening
In the morning thaw.
But you know that it was all real,
It wasn't a dream!

So beware to all,
Girls and boys,
On Hallow Eve,
It's more than just a noise.
There might be something peeking at you,
Just waiting for a chance to scream, "Boo!"

Now on this note,
I'll leave you be.
It's getting darker,
I need to hide before it gets me!
