T'was the Night Before Halloween - Eve of Despair
Our crosses were up hanging, planted everywhere
Some were on mirrors - for the vamp double whammy
Our hearts shook with fear our skin cold and clammy
The owls searched the night as they above ground low
While bats fluttered and screeched orange moon back lit glow
We left the graves open and the coffins for the night
Left in their holes at the setting of the sun as grew our fright
Witches round cauldrons stirred evil spelled brews with great spoons
Sparked, cackled with laughter conjuring their master, sacrifices swoon's
Garlic on windows hung from the doors, salt on the sills, threshold floors
The black Babylon candles burned ever so bright but dark was their infernal light
Foul spirits awakened to the chants and song poltergeists rose and did wight
Goblins, ghouls, demons, devilish jinn, more answered invocations
Appeared, grew by the score growled squealed wielded incantations
As the powers of ill magics cast thunder upon sky cracked from high dark bolts
Who's strike reached wide to split trees and fire turn barns to a pyre
While Baalzamon, Lord of darkness talon clawed notes spewed from his lyre
Fairie called forth hosts at the order of their King and Lord against evil to contain
The Queen and her Dames spread in the circle surround called forth Holy Rain
As the night turned to gray as Dawn made her rounds to end the worship of pain
To drown out fires water down sacrifice stew, the witches wet said to each other
Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose
Next year we'll do it overpower our bother
Well at least the rain washed clean our clothes and our stockings, and shoes
When one is a witch and wants the yearly bath this is what we must do
So Ended the Night Before Halloween - Eve of Despair
Good night and Happy Halloween to you!
Our Calendar!

... our first Halloween here at our new location in the flat countryside. In the past, when my children were still small, Halloween was sometimes celebrated excessively in the villages. So we're prepared for anything ;-))
