Do you feel the spirit?
It’s almost Halloween.
Have your candy ready
Ghosts and goblins will be seen.
If you really want to
On the west side of town
There’s a yearly ghost walk
Where old spirits can be found.
I love this fall season
When a nip is in the air.
The colors are so vibrant
You can see them everywhere.
Kids are trick-or-treating
The spirit’s in the air.
Go to the Governor’s Mansion
Governor Sandoval will greet you there.
Sometimes it’s cold.
Sometimes it’s not.
Bundle up under your costume
Or you’ll be “Chiller” in the plot.
I always liked Snickers, M&M’s too.
Yes, peanut butter cups
Actually, just chocolate will do.
Well, now we are adults.
No more of this.
Just hoping for leftover candy
Or perhaps a good night “KISS.”
(Chocolate, that is).
