Halloween 2011

The leaves have turned. The air is chill.

Spectral fiends do what they will.

We light a candle, draw the shades,

And hope it's just the light that fades.

Can ancient bonds still hold back doom?

Is there no everlasting tomb?

Should we help break the Mad King's yoke?

Are we a punchline in his joke?

Let's robe ourselves in others' guises,

Dodge the tricks, and seek out prizes,

Risk our souls for passing fame,

And pray that this is just a game.

• Preparations have been made for Halloween 2011.
