Witch's treat

Keep the young ones home tonight

Afoot is a plot most foul, terrible and trite

Concocted to dine and eat with might

All young souls as they go a tricking

A plan most dastardly and disgusting

Upon the witches hearth is now discussing

Ways to savor, boil and bubble

Little trick and treaters with no trouble

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halloween night approaches closer and closer

All the witches and warlocks lick their lips with glee

Little delicious snacks of children, tasty as can be

Laughingly to the cauldron comes, oh! such a poser

One juicy devil, dressed to tease, scare and frighten

Werewolves howl, the pack yet thicken and tighten

Every child a feast shall be, tender juicy and oh so tasty

Ever nearer they approach, fairies, devils, foxes, some look pasty

Now to us hasten, the broth awaits, lovely lovelies, we shall feast!

~~~~~~~~~~~

No one listened, parents, guardians, off they sent

Their lovely lovelies dressed as creatures, all hell bent

On frolic, fun, a monstrous night of scary goodness

For sweets of every enjoyment awaits tiny hands of madness

He he he he, ho ho ho ho, hum hum hum, fe fo fum

Chants the witches, cauldron bubbles, here they come

From nowhere jumps in front, a large monster of a spider

Smelling so very strongly of plum and rotten cider

Run, children, run, run away home to your beds

Witches and warlocks hatched a cruel plot for heads

Of little tots all dressed as scary monstrous beasts

Run, run back home, don't be meat for their feasts

Twas Halloween, no one listened, must be part of the fun

Into the cauldron went little ghosts and ghouls fore they could run

But something the evil witches and ugly warlocks did not fathom

The cauldron had a hole in it's bottom, yes I said bottom

The monstrously dressed children fell completely through

Into a hole that led magically to their beds tis really true

The spider, magical and true, had saved the children not few

Parents did not listen, neither did children if they only knew

This Halloween night the spider saved

What of the next? Oh! Poor spider got caught in his cave

For the witches and warlocks needed meat for their fare

Next Halloween, listen when warned and be aware

Of evil witches and such who wait for children with nary a care

Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween.
