Halloween Night
by Chuck Lukkason
I think that I shall never see a pumpkin as orange as can be.
So round and true and a stem so hard and green, a perfect Jack-O-Lantern it will make and all the children will scream.
I’ll put a candle in it to light up the night, it will flicker and glow and cause a great fright.
On Halloween Night the kids will come dressed as Dracula, Frankenstein, a Mummy in trauma and there even was scary Obama.
The Monsters came to the door and hollered their “tricks or treat” but not one of them could, perform a great feat.
They just open there bags, they all wanted candy, while there parents stood in the street, they’re all drinking Brandy.
And then came the big kids with their pillow cases streaming, staring at my pumpkin, with their eyes all a gleaming.
For I knew in my hart that it wouldn’t be long, my perfect Jack-O-lantern, soon would be gone.
And at last, I don’t think, I shall ever see, my pumpkin, smashed in the street, so completely.
The End.
