I went out to trick or treat
wearing fake bloodstained hands and feet
Soon I began to get prickly heat
So I jettisoned them in the street
The finder went as white as a sheet
Then dropped dead with no heartbeat
Now I’m feeling like dead meat
How could I be so indiscreet!

Thanks so much Sandra, I'm not sure it if will place as it's meant to be scary rather than funny but I just can't help the way my muse behaves:-) hugs jan xx

I almost choked on me cuppa this morn laughing at this one. Another great write from your masterful quill. When you "put your foot in it", I thought of a sick trick we used to pull as kidsd5n on Halloween - put a bag of manure on a guys porch, light it with a match and watch the guy come out to stomp it out!!!

Ha! How could you be so indiscreet my friend, ha? I surely loved this delightful little ditty! I'm sure that this isn't a true story, as it would be too disheartening to write about! But you might have gotten rid of hands and feet that were bloodstained and that were too hot, as the picture portrays! I enjoyed reading this incredible poem this morning! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
