What is really chilling your spine (comedy)

In streets I wander on hallows eve,

In trees and branches I sway and weave.

And make the children disbelieve

And suddenly take a terminal leave.

Awaiting in the lamplight bare

I play a trick by pulling hair.

Or have them walk through me there

They’ll get a chill that’s sure to scare.

They will not see my actions through

And yet their lips turn scarily blue

They’ll try to explain what happened, too

I tell this because I know it’s true.

I am the spirit that wanders around

That makes leaves rustle on the ground.

I make even the strongest hearts to pound

With only just a little sound.

It gives me joy and such delight

To send kids screaming in the night.

They think they’re safe with costumes on

But really they’re just my midnight pawn.

With their candle burning bright,

They try and see me in the night.

And oh what horror, what a sight

If little kids saw me here tonight!

But they can try to scope and stare

But for all they know I’m not there.

But a warning to the unaware

Come to my alley and you’d better beware.
