They stood on the porch
and were ready to knock,
when they heard heavy footsteps,
and a turn of the lock.

When what to their
curious eyes should loom,
but a wicked old witch
holding a broom.
Her cape--how it shimmered!
Her face--oh, how scary!
Her hat was so pointy,

the night's just begun!"

as they danced with delight,
"Happy Halloween to all--
and to all a fright night! — Natasha Wing
