Best Halloween In 2022

Witches who snitch were caught slipping eye-of-newt
Into sandwiches of dog es but at first it did not compute.
What kind of a Halloween party is this? Does it have a pedigree?
I would like to join, said the vampire loving bit-Emoji.

The harvest moon brought in ghouls known as gory cheerleaders.
Gravest goon’s music revved up fright, for they are fear-seeders.
Mediocre cats who had not suited their ill-tempered witches
Were relegated outside to grab legs as kids walked past dark ditches.

Dracula had arrived with Frankenstein’s wife at his side;
We all knew there’d be trouble when Frankenstein came inside.
The cheerless, the tearless, the meanest bobbed for apples.
Some of the teen ghouls satisfied snob-hobbing with Snapples.

Leaking all over the floor was a silly un-dead skeleton.
He had been gulping down slime. No wait! It was green gelatin.
The zombies, the owls, the ravens, the gargoyles too.
Admitted it was the best Halloween in year 2022.

Thank you Andrea. I am changing one of them now, and I appreciate you catching this. Remember how I said I do not "do math?" Here is the living proof. I would have NEVER caught that!
