Halifax Public Gardens At Night

The garden gates are locked at night,
But not to keep folks out.
It's what's within that gives a fright,
And must not roam about.

The statues come to life, and free,
They frolic on the lawn.
And souls for dedicated trees,
Dance with them unto dawn.

The ducks emboldened by the dark,
Devour passing souls.
It's not a very pleasant park,
When hungry are bridge trolls.

Lost children of most any age,
Are wise to keep without,
Lest they do suffer flowers' rage
Inflicted on stray louts.

The wise late stroller comes not close,
When walking near the fence.
The gardens are for day's repose:
When night falls get thee hence!
