When is Halloween what’s so special about that night All nights post twelve I lie frozen in utter fright Prearranged so by design I’m isolated in one room On my bed alone in all nooks shadows loom!
My hands mustn’t stick out there’re hands to pull Drag me to a dark well the hands clammy and cool My feet too mustn’t be stretched beyond bed’s edge Umpteen things can happen by lurking evils’ rage!
My eyes I keep them shut so as to make me unfound But my ears are too keen to let go the slightest sound Of dragging footsteps and whispering voices closing in on me I lie alone not a soul in the room so ghosts they’ve to be!
But the scariest thing happens and it frightens me the most When silence is deafening not a trace of any ghost I ready for a peaceful sleep of which I don’t get much *Just then the bed moves welcomes me a faint touch!
