The Night Before Halloween

It was a bus of ghouls And it was speeding through painted lines Pumpkinhead raised a brow and scoffed As the bus passed me by. I wondered where they were headed I figured they were in route to pick up a friend Or maybe they were going to Walmart To pick up old lazy bones and some decor For the den. As I arrived for work Everything appeared fine The sovereign winds ghosted throughout the building Maybe it was a sign. At the meeting Liz confirmed it was true. "Steve, your working with Matt in dairy…" I pouted "man, what did I do!" Everything seemed laxed Till about ten-forty-five That's when I heard Patrick "Guys, there's a bus full of ghouls, And it's parked right outside!" Eyore was the first to the door, He was first in. "Password sir," Jane said as she raised her shin "Marikit.." the hutchback snarled As others formed a line. "OK, you can pass…" She said with vinegar in her eyes. Brianna came from apparel When she heard Frankenstein's loud moan Her eyes bugged out of her head As the monster left her alone. Mummy came in Arms extended out "No more social distance.." Bryan said as his arms flopped to his sides Like dead trout. Destiny came from cosmetics When she saw Dracula begin to fuss "I know art very well; I'll take care of that smudge…" Edgar Allen poe And his famous raven appeared next Pearla peaked out from infants "What the heck…" Last to join the party A five-hundred year old zombie; He was just looking for some fun Bryan told Matt and Alton, "Entertain them guys, I'm going to get my gun." "Brains!" The zombie said Danilo didn't miss a beat "Nothing here, You might want to try across the street"
