Jan Allison Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Certainly Put My Foot In It - Halloween Boo

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!

Sandra Haight October 11, 2017 at 1:55 PM Oh, Jan! I really laughed hard at this one! You are so creative with ideas for themes! Great monorhyme too! Should do well in the contest. Hugs, Sandra Jan Allison October 11, 2017 at 2:26 PM 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

Robert L. Hinshaw October 10, 2017 at 11:08 AM 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!!! Jan Allison October 10, 2017 at 11:16 AM ha ha ha that is hilarious what a lovely tale Robert and I'm glad you enjoyed my poem!!!:-) hugs jan xx

Mike Gentile October 10, 2017 at 7:48 AM I see that you could not resist the funnies! The" dead meat" touch was great! Good Luck xxoo Jan Allison October 10, 2017 at 9:15 AM hee hee Mike I understand if I don't place in the contest as she wanted scary but that is the way my poems flow. I've been inspired and written another 2 monorhymes since I saw the contest:-) hugs jan xx

John Gondolf October 10, 2017 at 6:55 AM Jan, I always enjoy your humorous poems; what a great way to start my day. Good luck in the contest! Jan Allison October 10, 2017 at 6:59 AM Its supposed to be a scary poem but I couldn't resist a little humour so i understand if i don't place in the contest:-0 hugs Jan xx

Russell Sivey October 10, 2017 at 4:52 AM 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!! Jan Allison October 10, 2017 at 6:59 AM Thanks Russell I wrote the poem then found the pic hee hee:-) Seriously I am not a Halloween fan at all:-( hugs jan xx
