Don't Turn Around
It's All Hallows Eve and the cold North breeze
Sends the wails of spirits
Whistling through the trees.
The children are gathering
In hordes on the street
Thinking of candy
And the ghouls they'll meet.
And if you are alone on this magic night
Beware! Lest your imagination take flight.
The cupboards hold monsters and and scary things
Snakes and bats and crawling things!
There's a banging in the hallway
And a slither on the floor-
Pretend you don't hear and you'll only hear more!
Don't pull back the curtain-
For a face you might see
Sit in the chair and gather your knees!
Remember this rule as the goblins abound-
Whatever you do-
Don't turn around!
