'Twas the
night before Hallow’s Eve
And all
through the house
The spirits
were stirring
A cat chased
a mouse
Ȫ
Ȫ
My senses
were tingling
I opened one
eye
Peered into
the shadows
And thought
I might die
Ȫ
Ȫ
For what I
saw there
Caused me alarm
I closed that
eye... tight
And whispered
a charm
Ȫ
Beetlejuice
in his nightshirt
Headless
Horseman in a cap
Were scratchin’
and belchin’
And up from
their nap
Ȫ
I quivered
and shook
Hoped they’d
not notice...
B lifted his
shirt
And took a
quick [pssssssssss]
Ȫ
Then they
puttered away...
Was that a
good sign?!
Perhaps they
are harmless
Perhaps they’re
benign
Ȫ
But what I
heard then…
A horrible
clatter!
Screeching
and wailing
What the
hell was the matter?!
Ȫ
Although I
was shaking
I jumped
from the bed
What I saw
next
Made me wish
I was dead
Ȫ
Entrails
were s t r u n g
Over bushes and
trees
Pools of
dark red
Looked to be
up to my knees
Ȫ
The yard was
a mess
And the wailing
went on
I feared for
the worst
As I looked ‘cross
the lawn
Ȫ
Was that a
dead goat?
Was that a
cleaved d/o\g?
Some sliiiiiime
on the trees…
Perhaps a
pinned frog?
Ȫ
I panicked
and FROZE
As hard
steps came near
I couldn’t
think straight
PARALYZED by
the fear
Ȫ
I fainted,
then woke
Felt
something on me
Was that BLOOD on my leg?!!
Ummm, maybe
just pee…
Ȫ
The horrible
screeching
Had now
turned to laughter
It didn’t
make sense
Not at first,
but then after…
Ȫ
For there
were my kids
In cap and
nightshirt
Laughing so
hard
Their sides
must have hurt
Ȫ
I wasn’t
amused
They called
me a "Hater"
But mark my
own grave
They’ll pay
for this… later
