Listen dear readers,
for you will hear
a story of terror
a story a story of fear
And it all began
on the Spookiest night of the year
at an old candy shop shop
so dark and drear
the wind blew fiercely
as I drew near
chocolate did I crave
for I am it's slave
a faded sign creaks
in the wind
a crack in the window
lets cold air in
let the daylight fade
no difference it made
my hunger for chocolate
won't let me stop yet
my greatest fear
"no chocolate here"
as I open the door
I feel doomed for sure
my hand trembles
with trepidation or more
looks more like jumbles
than a candy store
the cases filled so full
in the dust and dim
chocolate beckoned
"worth a try" I reckoned
dusty shelves of beautiful boxes
I stood there uncertain
as a tiny gray haired lady
came through the curtain
'Why " 'Trick or Treat' " my dear,
this is my favorite night of the year.
Now what brings you round
this part of town?'
"Chocolate.
if you please mam."
but no chocolate found
anywhere in town
