Hayride

Chilly night
Waiting in line
A tractor coming closer
A trailer of bales riding behind

Get on with a quick step
Take a sit on a bale
Snuggle up to a love one
Or hang on your own

Creeping along the path
Drawing closer to the dark
Something jumps out of shadow
"Ahhh" screamed with fright

A story unfolds
Tricksters come with temptations
The ride is almost over
Lights fade as the tractor slows
The hayride comes to a scary end
