Dance of the Boogeymen(An Unusual Halloween Hors D'Oeuvre)

Twirling around and around in the Night Sphere Creepy eyes that scream out for a Partner in Loungerie Two plus 2 6 and then Twenty The Boogeymen of the night Catching the souls of the departed in flight Sending them to the loneliest corner of Hell With a Dunce Cap on every head that read: HERE YOU ARE STUPID..AMONG THE ZOMBIES AND THEIR DEAD A quiet empty trio of fools who did not play it cool while they were alive Who refused to submit to the booze,the Pot,and all that Open Up Jive Sweethearts on the dance floor where the Dead party all without a smile Takes us back to that Halloween Trick or Treat town,at least for a little while Mothers swing their Fathers The Grim Reapers do their do-si-do Harper Valley 1-800-NEXT-OF-KIN Biting Teeth on a Harker Jonathan Sipping blood with a grinning Mina She is lovely in that shade of dead Vein vessel blood all around her neckTAR and thy Head Here in the ram shackled Studio 50 for DEAD Dancers are the Boogeyshoes With one eye alive and the other socket popped out Sleep Deadly tonight Beneath the full moon and the Tango of cold Harvest Fright
