Halloween is here again
As the moon ensnares the sun
And stars dance about the sky
With a sense of fiendish fun
The torch lights flicker�on and off
Bells sound like alarms
And strangers upon the street are clad
In demonic uniforms
Be careful of your neighbor
Who knows what he might do?
Poison is most medieval
But razors work well, too
And that temptress who lives next door
�Though witches no longer burn,
Has played her tricks upon some man
Now it�s a poor boy�s turn
Knives�rip into candy bags
Thieves�take off with someone�s gold
The young and moral-depraved
Take advantage of the old
What is this day, still f�ted for
Its �holy� title�true
When men are less than beasts�
We give this day its due?
