Halloween Stew

What would a Halloween Stew be?
Would it be a mountain of bones under a tree?
Something mysterious like-
A carving in an untouched forest on a hike. 
Would we be cooking rabbit fur?
We really can’t concur. 
Why is there a pinecone on top? 
For sure, this is a terrible slop. 
A few bats appeared from their cave that night. 
To eat this festive delight. 
The werewolves lagged behind. 
But they were feeling kind. 
No fights broke out at all. 
Even when a vampire got a call. 
They took his last bag of blood. 
Mixed it with old mud. 
For the stew to be a feast. 
For every kind of beast. 
They saved him a bowl as well. 
He liked the poisonous smell. 
What would a Halloween Stew be?
Without some stolen candy!
So they threw in a few chocolates and some hard candies too. 
After snacking on a few. 
Then the stew turned the perfect green. 
Started to glow with the addition of a jelly bean. 
What could a Halloween Stew be about?
It gives us the energy to howl and shout. 
We like the taste as well. 
We treat it as a wishing well. 
Toss in as much garbage as possible. 
So that us monsters will be unstoppable!
