The Sounds of Trick or Treat

With nighttime comes the sounds of trick or treat
A loud whoosh brings a witch landing in the street
With hackles and cackles she holds her magic broom
Searching for children to be feasting on pretty soon

A black cat sits behind a bush waiting to launch an attack
He lowly growls at you while arching his shiny black back
Pay the black cat no heed, keep your eye on that teasing witch
She offers you treats but in reality they are sleeping tricks

The witch blends into the crowd offering delightful tastes
Of the potion that will coat children when she starts her baste
A Jack O' Lantern walks by, hand in hand with Princess Di
Buckets filled with candy and she gives them the evil eye

They wanted to run but their feet felt stuck to the ground
As she whispered to them incantations of hypnotizing sounds
Her broom played a soft beat by sweeping gently in the air
The trick complete, she handed them not an apple but a pear

The kids soon fell under the well known spell of "Lets take a ride
My broom will float you through the nighttime's starry skies
I'll show you a world of endless candies and cookies galore
Everything little children like you want and much much more"
  
The black cat waited for the witch to arrive back to her happy home
Knowing tonight she would be cooking meat off their little bones
Generations have passed since he was a small child in this town
Turned into a black cat by the witch he badly wanted to put down

Inside the cottage it was warm and full of children's desires
The witch singing while starting the ovens intense glowing fire
The black cat watched in horror at what was unfolding on this night
Halloween Part 13 on the television and playing in black and white?
