Tricks or Treats!

To all of you who look forward to this night, be safe out there.

Goblins and ghouls
teacherous fools
lurk in the shadows
where there are
no rules.

witches, their cats
around the cauldron
potions they mix
one frog's eye
an essence of bat.

I fear you going
out into this night
stay close, my dear
just under the
porch light.

I cannot save you
if you wander far
once from the stoop
you are subject to
the perils
of the night.
