'Twas
Halloween Night
'Twas
Halloween night as I leaped from my bed,
With thoughts of amusement going through my head.
Turned
off my computer and thought as I may
Of vampires of old and vampires of today.
Of
spooky old movies and Halloween parties,
Of course trick or treating (hope they don't hand out
Smarties).
And witches and ghosts and gravediggers, I fear,
So that old haunted house, I will never go near.
When
you see spooky places, just take my advice,
And don't go in rooms filled with ghosts, bats, and mice.
So
don't risk your life going looking for spooks,
Just go to a party with some good friendly kooks.
Or
gather your family, carve a pumpkin and think
What to have your kids do, and go pick up a drink.
Tell
a joke to your friends, but be careful, you'll see
That a couple wrong moves might mean eternity.
Now
put on that costume and dress yourself up.
You can be Ninja Nun or that RCA Pup.
But be very
careful or else you might see
That ghosts and vampires aren't really PC.
So now you can
think, as you turn out that light
That there's no such thing and that you are all right.
Look under your bed, though,
and then you might see...
Nothing! We aren't afraid of ghosts now, are we?
