Trick or treat

Trick or treat
come one come all
dancing feet
at the Masquerade ball
twirling gowns glowing bright
bowing gentleman, so polite
you have never seen such a sight
beware or this may be your last night
Among the smiling glittering jewels
there hides the host,
a most garish tricksy ghoul
though he smiles at every ghost
he is thinking of getting you alone
and showing you the terrace
where he will bestow upon your finger a stone
You pride yourself little temptress
on winning such a prize
when really it is him tonight
with blood lust in his eyes
that wins this battle here outright
As you both alight the stairs
and leave the lights below
you finally see his teeth are bare
and what awaits you there.
