Hallowe’en

I'm just and ordinary Pumpkin That people like to buy And then they peel and scrape me And put me in a pie But at this time of year it's different As biggest ones are saught I'm lying on the back of the stall Cos I shudder at the thought…

WITCHES, VAMPIRES AND LITTLE ELVES

How many witches, faces green Will we meet this Halloween? Or maybe vampires, faces white Knocking on your door tonight Then there's werewolves (facial hair) Moaning at the moon out there Monstrous trolls, with stinky breath Frightening all the kids to death E.T., aliens, rubber necks Climbing over peoples decks…

The Party

The cemetery at Abney Park On Halloween, just after dark, Has witches gathering at its gates Who've come to play with all their mates, The spirits rising from the graves. On this night nobody behaves And anybody passing by Who's gifted with the Evil Eye Will see all the frivolity…

Beware The Pumpkin

Young Harold bought a pumpkin The biggest one he’d seen Took it home upon his bike In time for Halloween His brother and his sister Decided then and there That this year their big pumpkin Was really going to scare Straight away they started To carve the nose and eyes…

Halloween, Halloween

The Cottage

With white shuttered windows And baskets of flowers The cottage was perfect A place to spend hours The inside was cosy An inglenook fire A space to relax in For folk to retire All this was dressing A respectable stance For this was a place Where the Devil would dance…

All Hallows Eve

On All Hallows Eve the dead shall rise To walk freely amongst the living Reaping revenge on all mankind Being ruthless and unforgiving Doors will creak, windows will slam Things will go bump in the night All the children who go trick or treating Are sure to get a big…

HALLOWEEN PARTY

Flickering shadows dance in shafts of moonlight, Their music screeching winds, and hooting Owls. Castle ruins crumbling walls, and gaping windows, The stage where past Spectres play Their Halloween party games of old, Their cackling laughter, screams of terror Echoing from their empty skulls, and unfleshed bones. Another stone falls…

THE WITCHING HOUR

A raven croaked, flitted across the castle ruins. Pale streaks of moonshine casting shadows. Weird shapes of ruined walls looked menacing. The witching hour neared its time. A shrieking witch, long nosed and pointed hat, Broomstick and cat screamed around the castle walls, Signalling the Ghosties and Ghoulies to play,…
