Poem
Way back when, Living with my father Harry, One Halloween I had an idea spark, Seemed to me it'd be a lark.... Thus the tale of When Harry's House Held The Horrific Holloween Hex..from Hell Early 70's, my favorite time did approach, For scary Halloween tricks and pranks, I intended to truely host... So, I spent some time, with tools and wood, Made a faux- coffin, looked pretty good! Placed a self made dummy inside, His head a bar-room prop for "Old Grand Dad", This was gona be fun for me to be had, Dressed him up, looking better all the time, Stuck a big knife in him... Guess it had been a vicious crime, Ketchup blood stains, Covered all in clear plastic wrap, Placed it in the living room, Just inside our front door, But I wasn't done, I planned much, much more... Forgive me, if I've already told this tale, I can't remember,....oh, what the hale... Had my girlfriend dress up like Morticia, Black dress and more, Put on my ill fitting black suit, Almost ready for the door... Powdered our faces with white talc, Held a candle holder for the day Put on eerie organ funeral music, Still got more to say.... Set up two chairs near the "coffin", My parents became the grieving mourners, Waited for our victims to arrive, Knew they'd remember this Halloween, As long as they were alive.... Didn't take long, Till the first kids came.... I opened the door slowly, menacingly.... They would never be the same..... Each group of children who knocked, Ran out in great fright.... Oh, my golly, this gona be some night!! Some dropped their bags of candy... Boy I was "cleaning up" The only house around, Whose candy quantities tripled by the cup!! Then some frightened children, Returned with many a wary parent, Didn't believe their stories, Thinking "No Way! They simply daren't!!" Well, I escaped jail, really don't know how... But it left me with this tale... That I tell often, as now.
