NO HALLOWEEN BLUES

An edited and expanded version

Fright night is such a delight
Ghost and witches give a fright
Tiz the night of shudders and flight
Gripping you close on Halloween night

These things are for lots of fun
but you surely should shun
The evils that are sometimes done

Wisdom and faith make you strong
In your costume and singing a song
Going from place to place to collect
Goodies and treats with much respect

Knowing what you should do
should easily get you safely through
Trust in guidance for your safety
Treats and such are very tasty

Parties and celebrations in full swing
You shouldn’t be afraid of anything
Right spirit in your sights
enjoy this spooky Halloween night
