Autumn nights come with scary frights
Carving pumpkins, guts everywhere
Scary movies with popcorn and pumpkin seeds
The cold breeze from the wind is
Spirits roaming the streets looking for their next victim
You hear BOO and AHHH! from all corners
Not knowing if they are in actual trouble or thrill
Bats hanging from the streetlights
Is it a vampire? Do I need garlic?
Kids running around to every house screaming trick or treat
But also getting scared away from the “fake” scarecrow.
Teenage kids running to every house stealing all the candy away from the kids.
I see zombies with pink hair
Mummies leaving a trail of tissue behind
Angels, Devils, Clowns
Parents secretly stealing their kids’ candy
“They don’t need this much anyway,” they say.
