Marilyn Gets Tricked
Marilyn Gets Tricked
By Elton Camp
Halloween is typically a night of petty crime
But it can also provide entry to a ball of slime
For a psycho, costumed throngs provide cover
To someone who of violence is a twisted lover
To give sweets to kids Marilyn found a delight
But another knock came a bit late that night
She opened the door and then gasped in fear
At the leering adult she saw standing near
“I have enough sweets and don’t need more”
Is what he said as he shoved through the door
Marilyn’s terrified scream didn’t raise alarm
For Halloween is a night dedicated to harm
So if you celebrate Halloween, better beware
Since you never know who’s standing there
