What are You Afraid of?
Your face is pale…
I’m so afraid!
Did a black cat cross your path?
No, I’m not afraid of black cats.
Your hands are shaking…
I’m terrified!
What is it, a big, hairy spider?
No, I’m not afraid of spiders.
You are breathing hard…
I’m scared to death!
Did you see a spooky bat?
No, I’m sot scared of bats.
Your teeth are chattering…
I’m living in fear!
Why are you so afraid?
I am afraid to say!!!
Happy Halloween!
“Don’t Let the Bastards Grind you Down!“

Happy Halloween
Don’t Be Afraid!
Don’t be afraid to speak out
in defense of what is right!
Don’t be afraid to speak out
against what is wrong!
Don’t be afraid to stand up
for the innocent!
Don’t be afraid to stand up
against the guilty!
Don’t be afraid!
Happy Halloween!
Don’t Let the Hobgoblins
Steal Your Joy!
