Happy Halloween!

 

On All Hallows Eve,

the blood will spill,

toes will curl and

screams for Candy will

punctuate the night.

 

Ghouls and monsters,

will harvest organs to

feast upon and Demons

will steal souls,

and maybe eat some candy corn.

 

An empty candy dish,

as horrific as the empty

eye sockets of shambling

zombie, in search of

delicious brains.

 

Halloween puns will

shock us, Shirley Temple of Doom

and Cereal Killers, One Night Stands,

and Nudists on Strike, will

haunt our perfect grammar dreams.

 

The sidewalks filled with

costumed horrors and

un-costumed terrors alike,

strolling about, seeking fulfillment

of their lust for sweets.

 

Nightmares spilled on

porches and steps,

up to doorways separating

the enchanted realms of realistic fantasy and

fantastical reality.

 

To be broken only by

a knocking spell and

the magic incantation of

“Trick or Treat”,

for something good to eat.

 

Happy Halloween!

May all your terrors be fun.

You’re Horrors genuine.

And the candy satisfying

the hole in your Boo-tiful soul.
