Spooky Treat
Aunt Elf is brewing a Halloween treat,
something wicked, and ghoulishly special to eat.
Flesh of lizards and roaches and frogs, egad!
Aunt Elf has mixed them all into a salad.
A cauldron simmering way back of the stove,
smells of something atrocious spiked with clove,
a potion she’ll want us to chew without question,
concocted of things we’re too scared to mention.
Head of snake, eye of raven, and claws of bat,
many more gourmet fare awaits us like that.
Aunt Elf is famous for making a sumptuous dish,
Oh! Did I dare tell, she is the county witch?
But all we want is some fun with spooky ghosts
Or bloody masks walking along their undead hosts
And lots of yummy candies lined up on houses’ posts
That’s our kind of Hallow, laughing through mallow toasts!
*couplet and monorhyme*
