“HALLOWEEN"

All Hallow's Eve

Holy Evening

Scare the devil

with your screaming

Send him away

where he won't be seen

Scare him away

This Halloween.

Light Jack's way

with a carved pumpkin;

so he can find his way

back again

Dress up your children

and you, yourselves,

to fool the spirits

and evil elves.

Put out your fires

and dampen your coals,

spirits won't enter

when a hearth is cold.

Mark the new season

with silly things

Like good thick soup

made of black bats' wings

Wander the lanes

saying you'll pray

wander the streets

praying sins away-

Shiver and beg

Wander and pray

Be glad when the sun

brings a brand new day!
