It’s coming,
A terrible thing
It’s scary, and
flashing a toothy grin.
So, you better beware,
Have everything ready
Decorate appropriately,
For the end is near.
Just remember one thing,
It only comes but once a year
On Halloween, costumed in orange and black,
A mask upon its gruesome face.
It rings your doorbell with persistence,
Innocent child or demonic being
Feed it candy, just to be safe.
Trick or Treat.
