Halloween/I’m Just a Phony

Their candy wrappers line the Street

Kids dressed in costumes bright 

They run and holler— Trick or Treat 

I see their Faces light

 

They throw their Chocolates in their bags

And tread back— through the Grass

And roar and squeal in sheer delight 

The Air fills with their laughs—

 

A gust of wind turns Faces red 

The sky— now turns to black

The Day the children love and dread

The Monsters now attack—

 

They roam the Streets and cry and howl 

All children run inside

The creatures send a frightening Scowl 

A twisted dark Surprise—
