Halloween Hurricane

A thump, a bump, a screech, a scratch,

Outside my window last night.

I pulled the covers up over my head,

It gave me such a fright!

A whoosh, a howl, a creak, a crack,

On the roof an awful sound.

I slipped out of bed onto tip toes

And decided to look around!

A shadow, a shape, a dash, a flash,

Along my bedroom wall.

I reached for the switch – it went click

Blackness down the hall!

A patter, a smatter, a splish, a splosh,

Against the window pain.

I looked for ghosts and goblins

And saw a Halloween Hurricane!
