And I want to hear how it sounds with the ‘listen’ feature

I always imagined this poem being recited by Vincent Price who had the evil laugh in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, back in 1983. Anyhow, let’s see how it sounds with the listen feature here on Medium.

Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃

Dare to walk the streets at night.

Ghosts & Ghouls are sure to fright.

Trick or treat screamed by a child disguised.

Will he leave this haunted house alive?

Beware of crossing the black cat’s path.

Vampires suck you in their deadly wrath.

Abandoned yard, warning you; keep out!

In the darkness, monsters lurk about.

Simmering caldron, witches brew.

Horror and fear will come to you.

Spooky souls hang in the rafters.

Werewolf howls and sorceress laughter.

The dead awaken from their crypt.

Zombies feed and blood is sipped.

Skeleton sounds bid no reprieve,

Hope you survive All Hallow’s Eve.
