The Watchers Petition

A boy is an undead While a girl is a leatherhead Mom and dad find a severed head The front yard is now flowing in red. What caused this bloodshed? From tombstones and crypts The moon disappears during its eclipse Followed by eerie sounds and eyes that transfix As if waiting for someone with a bag full of tricks Did you see what caused the kids to tighten their grips? They couldn’t believe what they just saw The kids were in such awe. My mouth opened wide enough to give me lockjaw To my surprise over there by the seesaw Did I just see a headless person crawl? It crawled closer and started to moan Everyone ran and left us alone At that point I knew we were on our own I began to fight by throwing a stone Does it now sound like a drone? My thoughts are amiss. I thought we were walking into an abyss. Instead, I am dealing with machinery on the fritz I wonder what happens if I spray it with spritz. I ask myself, “What mockery is this?” Could it be? It’s Halloween!!!
