Halloween

By Hannah ( ©1995)

Let me tell you of a story back in '68,
I had gotten out of bed and it was very late.


I crept up to the attic, it was Halloween eve,
As I slowly pushed the creaking door
I couldn't seem to breathe.

And soon my eyes discovered with impending doom,
There was something very different in the attic
room.


But I forced myself to enter much against my will,
And the first thing I encountered was the awful
chill.

The terror in me mounted as I poised for flight,
But the door had slammed behind me, I was locked in
tight.


There were goblins and witches, skeletons & elves
And all the little bric-a-brac kept flying off the
shelves.


And bobbing for the apples from a big tin can
Were seven little gargoyles & a headless man.


A witch was slowly rocking to a dirge-like beat
while tiny shrieking devils poked pitchforks in her
feet.


The skeletons were making an unearthly sounding
clatter,
They formed a circle 'round me & my teeth began to
chatter.


Count Dracula was there and much to my surprise,
He turned into a bat that night before my very eyes.


All were howling and a'moaning 'til the sun appeared
But when I opened up my eyes, I found the room had
cleared.


You're the first to hear my story of this Halloween
Eve,
Just go up into your attic, if you don't believe.
