IT'S HALLOWEEN
It`s Halloween! It`s Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can`t be seen  on any other night:
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
 Grinning goblins fighting duels,
  Werewolves rising from their tombs,
   Witches on their magic brooms.


Halloween is nearly here
Halloween is nearly here.
I've got my costume planned.
It's sure to be the most horrific
outfit in the land.

If you should see me coming
you may scream and hide your head.
My get-up will, I guarantee,
fill every heart with dread.

My costume may cause nightmares.
Yes, my mask may stop your heart.
You might just shriek and wet yourself,
then squeamishly depart.

And yet, I won't be dressing as
you might expect me to.
I will not be a vampire
or ghost that hollers "boo!"

I won't look like a werewolf
or a goblin or a ghoul,
or even like a slimy blob
of deadly, dripping drool.

I will not be a zombie
or some other horrid creature.
No, this year I'll be much, much worse...
I'm dressing as a teacher.
