Halloween Dance of the Children
Ghosts and Ghouls all unite
as the coming of Halloween
in garb most garish or cute or strange
dance among the street lights
seeking sweets or toys or change
the children of the night.
Trick them not for watchful eyes will see
nearby giants glare or hands held tight
in groups they do march for safety
for fun rules the darkness without fright
they parade through the town
the children of the night.
Let them dance, sing and play
For soon the night will turn to day
Ghosts and Ghouls, now scared away
til next they see the sight
in colorful dress and painted faces
the children of the night.
