TRICK OR TREAT

Let's be spooky. Lets have fun!
We'll scare ourseves before we're done
with ghosts and goblins - winds that howl -
Things that fly and things that prowl.
We'll talk about such creepy stuff
until we both get scared enough
to hear things that we cannot see
and see things that just cannot be.
Let's be spooky - you and me.

~ Bobbi Katz
