~late at night~dark & scary~
~a host of goblins~ghosts & fairies~
~people the night~a ghastly parade~
~makes one wonder~“Of what are they made?”~
~under that face~the cloth of your masque~
~“Who are you?” one might ask~
~when opening the door~to take a peek~
~a bit of courage~not for the meek~
~there they are~a ghostly crowd~
~pirates~princesses~a faceless shroud~
~they shout in chorus,~“Trick or treat!”~
~these wand’ring ghouls~want something to eat~
~pretend you don’t know them~not even a wink~
~for under the masques~eyes that blink~
~are the purest pretenders~out on a lark~
~beneath each costume~beats a child’s heart~
