BOO!

Come visit in this haunted house

The sole living beings - spiders and a mouse

Open wide the heavy squeaky door

Hear shuffling footsteps across the wood floor

Watch those eyes on paintings look

Feel goose pimples upon body nooks

Smell musty odors in every room

Taste these closing hours of gloom

Ghosts floating above have no fear

Halloween arrives only once a year.
