Red Pumpkins

A season of mystery,

Where the monsters fear the people,

Those who scream,"Trick-or-treat!"

Houses become graveyards for decorations,

A night that our fears become a celebration,

There are various symbols for Hallows Eve,

Bats, ghosts, vampires, and pumpkins,

Most of them are orange,

But in one neighbourhood,

There was a house where the pumpkins were red,

Oozing and dripping crimson liquid down the porch as if they were dead,

At first they assumed it was food coloring,

Until Halloween arrived and the stench of death spread down the street,

Children kept away from the house but adults had their concerns,

So, they called the cops and learned that...

...It was just a prank!

They used pigs blood to scare the neighbours,

But as a consequence,

Their house got egged by the local teens later,

And that was the last year,

That red pumpkins would ever appear.
