Halloween

Halloween
We’re coming up on Halloween
The scariest holiday I’ve ever seen.
That Black Cat is back around.
I watched him cross my path just now.
This morning I broke a mirror.
I was carying it under a ladder.
And I don’t think this is very good—
I’ve lost my lucky Rabbit’s Foot.
I’m afraid on the Thirty-first
My luck will go from bad to worse.
So with visions of Goblins in my head
I await Halloween filled with dread.
