Tales surrounding Halloween
That gullible time of year
Hauntings in the neighbourhood
Promoting awfulness and fear
Dating from those pagan days
When all of nature was suspect
Inventing plausible explanations
Allowing folklore to correct
Wildlife where the wild collect
In search of blood and guts
Molar’s razor-sharp to slice
Through flesh and bony uppercuts
The sculpted pumpkin is a warning
Of empty stomachs on the prowl
Where the dusky glow of moonlight
Resonates a shrieking howl
