Poem
First day on the job, to deliver the mail,I got the nightshift. Ah! Come on! I drew the job, to drive to the next town, thru The Haunted Forest Prime! You know the one, yep, The One, used in the famous ‘Wizard of Oz’! It's Haunted, You Know! As they reminded me so, for the hundredth time! But Don’t Be Afraid! They said, the truck carries a reliable computer guide. Those always work, one did smirk. Plus, the truck’s full of ghost fighting gear. They said Never Fear! Their thoughts would be near! As they’d stay in touch! They loaded the truck with Holy Water, Not forgetting a ‘blessed silver cross’! Then came Rabbits foots, silver bullets, and all. Yea! You know, What I mean! They’d put aboard, all sorts of things considered really good luck, it seems. Then they piled all the mail into a pouch, Plus more charms, and magic aplenty. Yea Right! I said, as the sun went down, and the mist rolled out, of the forest! Oh! Did I state that it’s All Hollow’s Eve, and the veil is thin between worlds! The prediction is, the Undead from Potters Hill, will be extra bad, they fear! A new Sorcerer’s in town, and he’s been fooling around, here and everywhere! Dracula’s here, he’s searching near, he wants Van Helsing’s famous daughter! But, Rabbit feet don’t save Rabbits, and Wicked Witch’s control lesser magic. So They said speed is the key. Don’t worry! The little truck reaches twenty-three! Down hill is best, moving roots can trap and flying monkeys are mean, aplenty. Plus they put weights on the wheels so I won’t get carried away, near so easily! But keep foremost, in mind, the credo, you know, ‘The Mail Must Get Thru!’ Be strong in thought and spirit, they sang as they ran to the buildings’ safety as… Eyes peared out of the forest! What? You thought me, dumb as a box of rocks? Never fear, My Dear! I took the freeway around it! Oh! And I have a surprise! Yep! I’m Van Helsing’s Famous Daughter, who’s embarked on this ride! The trip back will be mine to command! Just think what you’d miss… If I hadn’t said this… And they’ll be expecting me to come from this side! So bow your heads, and say a prayer, for my Tri-um-phant trip, My Dears! And as they say ‘The Mail Must Get Thru!... Well, it will, at least this year!
