5 lonely nights till the cauldron is lit,
I miss the old days, with the flames and a spit.
The dungeon was fun, the screams were many,
I think our last victim was Harold. Or Vinny.
The chains would scrape and the shackles would hold,
Reduced to tears were the loud and the bold.
I’m really not mean. I dress to the nines.
And I’m inspired by reruns of “Criminal Minds.”
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Y’all have got to lighten up. Keep a sense of humor. Seriously.)
6 more moons until spiders crawl,
Filling the floor and ceiling and wall.
Where are the lizards? In the teacups again!
Nothing like lizard-drool mixed with my gin.
I can’t find my owl. Where has Albert flown?
Ah! Here he comes now, with a new feline bone.
All my sweet pets, are ready to play,
To hunt, pounce and howl on Halloween Day!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Keep your pets safe on the 31st! I’ll be watching.)
Only 7 more days to the spooky event!
My nails have been done and my fingers are bent.
Now I’m wondering what to do with my hair?
To color it orange or shave it off bare?
The wardrobe is finished, I’m going with black.
With a plunging neckline and a cool, open back.
What about shoes? Flats, boots or pumps?
It won’t really matter, as long as it thumps!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(The witch wears Prada. Really.)
Twas a few 8 days till the graveyard tour,
Ghosts will be easily found, I’m sure.
The moon will be glowing and winds will be strong,
Vampire bats fill the air with a song.
“We fly and we flutter and search the mud,
Heartily looking for a drop of blood.
Count Dracula sends us to do his will,
Snatching bites where we can with joy and zeal!”
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Feel something fluttering on your neck? Good…)
Twas a 9 scant days before monsters groan,
Bats will fly and the tortured moan.
We’ll dance in the dark while Michael sings,
And the echo of “Thriller” rings and rings.
The ominous sounds of Vincent Price,
Plainly evil, will call and profoundly entice.
Kasem will air while I rest in my bed,
Celebrating the tunes of the dead and undead.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Everyone do the “Thriller” dance. Go ahead. We’re watching.)
