A Halloween Fable

It's halloween I'm babysitting, little horrors crawl from their cradles
I'm not a happy chaperone, these kids are becoming quiet unstable 
Frankenstein's unscrewed some bolt, his head's hanging by a cable 
Dracula drank five Bloody Marys, now he's talking complete babel 
Wolf-boy's climbing walls, I nailed his paws rendering him incapable 
Wicked witch's making potions, with soiled diapers and sugar maple 
The crazed Mummy's eating bandaids, he looks even more disabled 
Evil twins are slashing each other's faces, I'm running out of staples 
Skinny skeleton kid's choking to death, stuffing his face with bagels 
The exorcist cannot stay still, keeps spinning her head on the table 
Johnny's home! chopping doors, I'm outta here my heart's not able
