On Halloween in Eighty-Four

There came a knock on my front door

I thought it was someone from town

But out there stood a Circus Clown

It said to me, “It’s tricks or treats!”

So I gave it a bunch of eats

I said, “If you will pose for me,

I’ll take a picture for folks to see”

I took a quick snapshot of it

It only stayed a little bit

It said, “It looks like it might snow,

And I have lots more places to go!”

Some other ghosts gave me a scare

Then I sat down in my easy chair

And thought, I’m glad they call came here

And they’ll be back again next year
