Feel them crunch under your feet as you trick or treat around the town.

Scaring friends silly, in the moon’s soft light.

With a happy face, that’s beaming and grinning.

With a dark flowing cape and fangs gleaming white.

Every corner is filled with fright.

He’s one of the silliest monsters ever seen!

Giggling and glistening in the moon-lit sky.

Come inside if you are brave, but be very wary!

It’s what makes Halloween so exciting.

Just place one on your porch, each sweet girl and boy.

Kind folks give candies, in the spooky glow.

A happy sound during Halloween fear.

Making Halloween a wonderful fright.

As we go trick-or-treating around the block.

Halloween night, and you rule the school.

But proud you may be, for you dared.

Collecting sweets, who could ask for more?

When you hear their bones, you might scurry and scatter.

Bags full of candies that are sweet.
U is for Unique, each costume on display,
Underneath the lanterns light, on this festive day.

In his velvet cape, giving everyone a fright.

In the bright light of Halloween’s moon.

Chocolates or candies, on the Halloween eve.

He’s searching for brains, but don’t worry, he won’t bite.
