As I walked out one Halloween night
I saw a sight quite queer.
A skipping, bobbing, quivering light
Was creeping ever near.





I paused to look, was I surprised,
Too scared to even scream.
For there before my startled eyes
I saw two legs of green
Beneath a grinning Punkinhead
It's smile an eerie gleam.





I stood amazed and shocked and dazed
Fear chilled me to the core
For close behind that Punkinhead
I saw there were TWO MORE!





The eyes within their faces glowed
With fright'ning ghoulish glee.
They danced and twirled,
They hopped and swirled,
And soon they passed me by.
I wiped my brow and made a vow
That to my home I'd fly.




But e'er I'd set my feet to home
A pittering, pattering, skittering sound
Of marching filled the street.
They came by three's








By nine's








And MORE!










Until they stretched from door to door!






































I could not stand I could not run
Oh what was I to do?
My feet refused to do my will
My heart beat faster still
As grinning, leering Punkinheads
Stretched out from hill to hill!














































I do not know how long I stood
In fear that endless night.
But when at last I stumbled home
My hair had turned quite white.




So listen well as I do tell
I pray to never meet
Again those dancing Punkinheads
On green and spindly feet.
