Halloween Time

Halloween Time

 

Ghosts and goblins are everywhere

And mean witches too

They all make us a little scared

When they say their boo

Masks and costumes are one thing

But evil is for real

Causing much suffering

Unlike the little squeals

 

Evil lurks around every corner

And is known to all

A much greater adversary

Than any spooks we saw

The evil giant still haunts us

Like no other around

Ghosts, goblins and bad witches

Were barely scary we found

 

One night a year we dressed up

On a Halloween

And there was candy for each of us

To make a dentist scream

When we had made the rounds

We took our candy home

In an age of innocence

With the spooks to us well known

      A fine write w c. What is a 'hobgoblin' as in the hymn?! 'Foul fiend' is in the same line, so it must be similar to that. We don't want to meet any!

        Hey Orchidee. I looked up "hobgoblin" on my phone. It is a fearsome mythical creature- an elf or leprechaun.

        w c,

        An excellent write!
        Truth be told, the second stanza sums it up!
