THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN

‘Twas the night before when all through the night was quiet as a mouse,

Knowing the next day the spooks were coming free in the house.

The time for all the evil, goblins to appear, show them to be such a sight,

Turn down the lights and see all the things and fear fight, fight, fight.

The howling has begun a minute too soon; creepy they’re out of tune,

‘Twas the night before Halloween and the spooks are getting ready,

Boo says the ghost; boo they are floating around fast and steady.

Time for the mean ones to do nasty tricks and follow you as you get treats,

Boo says the ghost as you pass by or play musical seats.

The night to soon be over and the spooks have to go away,

No more will this happen, no more can they come out to play.

‘Twas the night before Halloween and goblins and ghost all locked up,

All finished and before you go to bed and eat your sup.

Nothing to be scared about any more not one to come to your house,

Now the night before Halloween is just as quiet as a mouse.
