Scary Night Poem by ryan obrien

On Halloween as she smoothed my bedspread
my mum saw me shivering and heres what she said
forget those stories you've heard and you've read now why don't you lie down and sleep tight insted
no creatures'll get you you've nothing to dread
my dad stud beside her and nodded his head
and so did the witch as she flew overhead
and so did the monster from under my bed
and so did the werewolf who looked underfed
and so did the zombie although kind of dead
and so did our neighbors as each of them fled
and so did the vampire as his victim bled
and so did the victim whose neck was all red
and me i just shivered beneath my bedspread
and thought of the stories i heard and i read.
