She's a Mummy From Saskatoon

Hung on a brick wall the mummy looks spooky 
its Halloween time and her timing is fluky 
she prowls down the lane committing mutiny
hostile as a devil she breathes foul frumenty

Dried up like an old prune she flies like a goon
hovering over the kids that live in Saskatoon 
with a menacing laugh she fills them with doom
as they run to hide they leave plenty of room

But oh how she knows where the children go 
with their looby loo ways spilling candy intoe
she's been well preserved and is full of woe 
angry as a witch who just stubbed her toe 

Better close that door and lock it twice 
she's mad as a hornet and not very nice 
sucking on brains is her only device 
this mummy from Sask, never knocks thrice.

What a brilliant and creative halloween poem. I especially like the way you’ve described her and written “ Dried up like an old prune she flies like a goon”’ such a clever line! “ Better close that door and lock it twice “ I would definitely! Im loving the rhymes and flow of this! So good! Always a pleasure reading your poems
