Not a single thing was stirring ,

Not even a mouse ,

everything was afraid , in the quiet house .

for you see skeleton jack came back dressed in black ,

hiding in the shadows ,

giving children such a fright , on this cold brisk autumn night .

prancing down the streets , and tapping on windows ,

even scaring the occasional widows .

Children eating candy , and getting tummy aches ,

parents getting nauseating headaches .

People dressed in costumes , young and old .

And teens smelling of perfumes .

On this cold brisk Halloween night .

Oh ! Was he giving the children such a fright !

He laughed with glee !

For it was always on Halloween night , that he felt free !

He wasn't happy , no for he was glad !

And now trick and treating soon ended ,

now he was sad.

but he knew it would always come back next year .

So with nothing else to do , he took a step then soon two.

as he headed back to Halloween town ,

back to his Pumpkin queen , Sally .

he smiled , as soon as he saw her , they were the king and queen , of the Halloween night , giving children a fright !

Don't believe me ?

Well you'll see .

just wait , till next hallow eve.
