What a couple of days

It never rains it pours

The Halloween kids living the dream

For tricks and treats in scores

The clouds they opened up

All across the land

The masks and capes soon in a state

On this day rain should be banned

There’s a knock at our door

There stood this little fella

Trick or Treat soaked head to feet

The treat was our umbrella

His night was getting better

Munching sweets in the lane

With the clouds showing no mercy

He was now singing in the rain

Never mind you trick or treaters

The rain it showed no fear

Put your masks away from today

Until this time next year
