It’s That Time Of Year Again, Poem by Khadim Hussain

</>
The day we all dread
Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, the Werewolf
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Witches, Goblins Ghouls and Ghosts,
Will all quake in fear.

When night falls
Army of midgets in funny wigs and masks
With angelic eyes
Look harmless but beneath the disguise
Is pure evil intent,
Allies of Satan
They are not heaven sent.

Yobs clearly trained for a life of crime
Prowling the streets
Terrorise the neighbourhoods
Shouting “trick or treat”
As carryout their evil work
When the doorbell rings or there is a knock
The living and the undead cower
Tremble in awe,
It’s Halloween night!
