The following is a Halloween poem by franknbea
����������������������
Oh night of strange possibilities

Of ghost and goblins yet unseen

Skeletons dancing with vampires

Good gracious me it�s Halloween.

When small figures knock at your door

Shouting and screaming �Trick or Treat!�

And sometimes they still egg your house

Even after you give them a sweet.

When Michael Myers is back in town

All good teen age girls become soldiers

They arm themselves to the teeth

And take his destruction on their shoulders.

When a freaky piano solo gives you the willies

And your costume speaks of your creativity

With witches and ghouls and monsters abroad

Tonight there is no room for sensitivity.

When a Pumpkin takes on a strange significance

And people dress mostly in purple and green

When even the zombies perform a macabre dance

This is the night of all nights, Oh Halloween!
