Taste of Halloween

Drac's the new food taster at Halloween He dare not admit, he wasn't too keen For solid food is not his natural cuisine But Satan chose him instead of Wolverine. First to be tasted was the eyeball terrine; A little bit jellified with some crunch in between He quickly counted approximately thirteen His face flushed a shade of Frankenstein green. After eating the innards of Jack Ripper's spleen He grabbed a bone toothpick to pick his teeth clean He suddenly screamed, making a terrible scene Someone laced his drink, with some garlic poteen. Then came the dish of pig heart and sardine Which apparently is full of fish scale protein That tickled his tum as it slowly went in Later gave him the shivers as it crawled out from his skin. A head on a platter kept rotating full spin Made him feel dizzy, like he'd been drinking blood gin With every slow turn it gave Drac a sly grin Then gave him a wink from an eye in its chin. He spotted a sausage, its skin a blood vein Filled with minced bat then sealed to contain Drac nearly vomited, but managed to retain As the food kept coming again and again. Last on the list was a bowl of mashed brain Sitting on top of a mini ghost train Drac thought it tacky, tasteless and plain Until he noticed the gravy blood stain. The food went down well, no undead did complain The ghosts even liked, the toad quiche Lorraine The issue now is, who blocked the main drain? Who's going to tell Lucifer and try to explain?.

Aw, Drac is just getting soft in his old age. lol. Hilarious, Emilia. I think some of this fare should be going 'mainstream' soon. Ha, ha. Great job, and congrats on POTD. Happy Halloween, Gershon

Hmm, I don't think Drac is enjoying being the food taster. YUCK ! However, I am enjoying reading about his experience. (Giggle) Your thoughts bring a smile. Congratulations Emilia, on Poem of the Day. Happy Halloween. :) Brandy

I just hope it was outdoor dining. A very disgustingly halloweenish list of dishes. Well done Emilia.
