I have written this poem for Halloween, I hope you like it!<\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a><\/strong>HALLOWEEN 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

A swooping bat and spitting cat,\"halloween<\/a>
\nA witch that grins \u2019neath pointy hat,
\n<\/a>A little monster, green and fluffy,
\nA vampire slayer, name of Buffy,
\nA ghost that wails and clanks its chains,
\nKetchup blood and rubber brains,
\nA pumpkin and another witch,
\nIn nylon cape that makes her itch.
\nFrom the gloom, a phantom looms,
\nPeering into lighted rooms.
\nAll about are ghoulish gangs.
\nDracula\u2019s wearing outsize fangs.
\nZombies, wizards, little devil;
\n\u2019Tis the night when all spooks revel.<\/p>\n

\"halloween<\/a><\/strong>Sprites and spectres laugh and lark,
\nExcited to be in the dark.
\nA skeleton, a monster bride,
\nElsa\u2019s striding out with pride.
\nShe doesn\u2019t want to be a ghoul,
\nBut this young Elsa is no fool;
\nDressing up, she knows, is what
\nIs needed to fill up her pot,
\nWith lollies, chocolates, gooey chews,
\nCandies in a range of hues,
\nToffees, sherbet, liquorice strings,
\nAnd lots of other sticky things.
\n\u2019Tis the night for all things sweet;
\nThe night we all shout: \u2018TRICK OR TREAT!\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n
