On All Hallows Eve, when the moon has come out
\nThe ghosts and the goblins will wander about
\nYou lie awake cowering under your sheet
\nIn your mind’s eye you see where the witches all meet
\nThe Old Sister cackles her dark toothless grin
\nAnd summons the revels of night to begin
\nShe traces a sign with one bony finger
\nAnd pity the soul who has chosen to linger
\nAs midnight arrives, when the creatures of night
\nThose long ago fiends, come awake in delight
\nThe ghouls and the demons and zombies arise
\nSome take to the road, some take to the skies
\nThey head for the town, this terrible host
\nDemon and incubus, vampyre and ghost
\nYou huddle in bed, you are quaking with fear
\nFor soon all the creatures from hell will be here
\nThey are just down the road, they are coming, it’s true,
\nAnd somehow you know they are coming for you
\nNow they’re downstairs, they have entered your door
\nYou can hear ragged feet as they drag ‘cross the floor
\nThey have caught you at home, in your bed unawares
\nIs there time to escape? Oh, they’ve come up the stairs
\nThe bedroom door opens — you scream — it’s too late!
\nYou wake up. It must have been something you ate.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
