Halloween is the perfect night
To gather around by candlelight
Keeping warm from the cold
Whilst telling scary tales of old

Of Ghosts and Ghoules that dare to fright
And things that go bump in the night

So turn the lights down and gather round
No one dares to make a sound

Anticipation fills the air
For an unexpected scare

And as the story does begin
You wonder should you listen in?

As a shiver crawls beneath your skin

Are you brave enough to hear
Of zombies in the dead of night
Ghosts who wander in plain sight
Werewolf’s howling at the moon

‘I hope this story's over soon!’

Vampires looking for a bite
Skeletons that want to fight

‘Can someone please turn on the light’

Actually…….
That's really quite enough for me!
‘I think I'll go and make some tea’
