Trick-or-Treat! Boo!

Halloween-tree Wraith-portal! Boo!
 
“Trick-or-treat!” Came a harsh Gabriella Leigh screech!
Ole “fraidy-cat” Bapa cringed at his quiet reverie breach!
Magic and Penelope laughed at his courage easy impeached!
 
Around his restraining-recliner a flowing-ghost tornado-swirled!
A translucent pale-wraith flailing and screaming “Boo!” twirled!
 
“Sure scared you! Bapa!” Magic unicorn’s words, the old man heard!
Recovering quickly to salve an injured Pride, Bapa’s courage stirred!
“Uh! Um! I was sleeping!” Gabby and Magic laughed; Penelope purred!
 
Miss Gabriella smiled kindly and gently patted his shaky hand!
“It’s okay! Bapa!” She comforted. “It’s scary in Halloween-land!”
 
“Oh! Nonsense! Girl! Why? It’s another ‘Get candy’ celebration!”
“You mean like Christmas? Easter? 4^th-of-July? Appreciation?”
“Well! Yeah! Sort of!---’er…Halloween is a scary determination!”
 
“What will you be? Bapa? Hurry! I see a rising alabaster full moon!”
“Oh! Dear Gabriella! With this face I’ll just go as a scared buffoon!”
 
“But, Bapa! Wear a scary mask, at least, to get bags of sweet treats!
“Magic is going as a Unicorn and kitty as a cat!  I guess that repeats?
“You’re my super-hero! All evil ghosts and goblins, you can defeat!”
 
“Sure I can! I will be myself!” Bapa smiled with pleasing-Pride!
“Just let ’em come to cause trouble! I’ll quickly knock ’em aside!”
 
Magic opined, “Oh! Bapa! There’s not evil in everything that can fly!”
“With that smart Magic Unicorn advice, I think it’s best I just stand-by!”
“Kitty-cat! If Bapa meets a skeleton he should shake hands and say “Hi!
 
“You could wear your hero Lone Ranger mask to cover your face?
“Or, ole Superman’s cape to guarantee you win the intrepid race?
“What ever you want, Bapa! I’m sure you’ll fit right-in-place!”
 
“You’re so kind, Gabriella! And Magic and kitty-cat, Miss Penelope!
“I am not afraid! I really am a True hero! Forever Brave! and Free!”
 
“Good! Atta-boy! Bapa! We’ll head straight to the scary cemetery!”
Bapa shook, white as a wraith! “Graveyard!? No possibility!?”
“It’s okay! Bapa! I know a portal in a weathered old cedar tree!
 
“It’s home to Halloween-spooks who run rampant tonight!”
“Uh! Er! Think I’ll hide under the bed. Safe! Out-of-sight!”
“Magic! Kitty! And, I will go! We’ll bring you, candy! Alright?”
 
Happy Halloween!---Trick-or-treat!...Bapa’s okay! He’s a sight!
 

Happy Halloween!
