“My Favourite Night”

My favourite night is here again
Children run around with glee
Dressed in Halloween costumes
Innocently come a calling on me

Little hands stretched out grasping
Giggling they cry ‘Trick or Treat’
I’ll give them candy and cookies
So tonight I can taste sweet meat

I’ll venture forth when it’s darker
Then I won’t look too out of place
Appearing from the shadows
They’ll scream as I reveal my face

Children are not my usual choice
Too much they kick and bite
But tonight it’s just too tempting
To give them a little fright

My usual prey is far too busy
Partying in jubilation,
So what else is a ghoul supposed to do
But feast on the younger generation

I know I shouldn’t do it
Eating children, it’s just not right
But I promise its only once a year
On Halloween, my favourite night
