Russell Sivey Poet Rengay

Mummies Candy

Mummified body
Scouring on Halloween
Lurks into the night

The bandages falling off
Creepy skin is rotting

There are many treats
Within the old mummies heart
Candy corn inside

The living sweets
Keep the mummy alive
Gives kids their snack 

The black cats keep watch
To guard these candy sweets

People avoid the cats
For fear that bad luck will hit
Mummies love their pets
