It’s here. We’re done. We can finally go.
Turn on the candles, it’s time for the show!
I’ve hope you’ve enjoyed these few, brief notes,
If not, well then, please – go jump in a moat.
The pumpkins are carved, black cats are hissing,
We may even see two skeletons kissing.
I’m off on my broom, I’ll be back next year.
Eat lots, drink much and be spooky, my dear!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(‘Twas fun. Be well. And keep looking over your shoulder.)
Counting 1 more day til the feast can begin!
Who eats the most toads will assuredly win.
Wolverine snot in abundant supply,
The Graveyard Crew shouting “my, my, my!”
Food will be cooked, right in “Hell’s Kitchen.”
Chef Ramsay will say “you donkey, quit b_tch_n.”
For dessert I expect we’ll have crème de la swine,
Topped with a glass of arsenic wine!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Tasty treats abound. ID’s checked at the door.)
A mere 3 brief turns till the party begins,
Loud music and laughter and she-nan-i-gans.
Today’s a bit hokey, for the children at heart,
Yes, ghosts like to tickle and burp and fart.
May you each get your favorite in a trick-or-treat bag,
With hundreds of chocolates, that will make your butt sag.
No bedtimes, no rules, no time-outs, no chores,
If you’re good, we can meet by the fire and make smores!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Don’t let a grown-up steal the best candy. They will…)
4 more dawns between me and the day,
See the moon cast my shadow on bales of hay.
Can’t wait to see Mummy, looking good in off-white.
He’s easy to see on a dark, stormy night.
I hope Frankenstein can visit again,
He loves to eat soup made with eggs and shark fin.
The gang will be back, together once more.
To terrorize all, from mountains to shore.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(Embrace your inner monster. Make it work.)
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.)
Twas 10 short days till All Hallow’s Eve,
And all the lost souls will mourn and grieve.
The werewolves will howl and bark at the moon,
The madness of midnight will pass too soon.
We’ll gather together in the light of the fire,
The spirits will dance with laughter and ire.
This post is heavy and excessively dark,
Let’s think on fun things, like a snake and a shark.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
(More wicked cackles filled with shouts of glee…)
