The Candy King

There was a king who loved Halloween
He waited each year for this scary scene.
He sneaked out to hang on his door
Black bats and witches and spooks galore.

The midnight hour was his favorite time
With monsters covering snakes with slime.
As twelve o'clock chimed through the stars
He opened up his snickers bars.
