Lock The Door Poem by Patti Masterman

Lock the door; the day's arrived-
What demons lurk here, just outside,
And little pumpkins, with their sacks;
You never know what might attack.

There's a ghost and witch; they're friends,
Here come some pea pods, full of grins,
And there's scarecrow, and mummy too-
Someone's bound, to yell out 'boo'.

I hope I don't see any kooks;
It's bad enough, just finding spooks.
A bowl of candy's by the door;
My witch hat there, upon the floor.

Must be ready, when it rings;
When they make my doorbell sing,
And give them candy, instead of sticks-
So they won't do any tricks.
