Trick or Treat!

On this festival night in Alamo Square
San Franciscan children all can feel
The telltale bite of Fall in the air
As in costumes to All Hallows Eve they steal.
Dressed as ghost and gremlins, monsters and more These friendly phantasms drift door to door With satchels and buckets in hand to score Sweet candies, and treats, and fun galore.
With a ring of a doorbell the ritual starts Excitement that runs from the head to the feet
And an opening door is the cue to the part Where Halloween revelers shout, 'Trick or Treat!"
With goodies obtained the door step will clear As mummies, cowboys, and princesses are seen To scurry away on this homage to the weird With a "Thank you!" and "Happy Halloween!"
