Bates Poems

Norman, Don't Be Bates

Halloween is very near,
Stealing is what brought me here,
Where I'm going I can't say,
I just had to get away.

Driving in the pouring rain,
Those that do, must be insane,
Looking for a hideaway,
To spend my holiday.

I've been good, but not that great,
Candy makes me put on weight,
Pumpkin pie and room for dates,
But Norman, don’t be Bates.

The Book of Brenda Bates

Her name was Brenda Bates, a novelist
bewitched from burrowing inside her book

Becharmed, beguiled, she wanted this bold man,
who she had brought to life as best she knew, 
and bonded with her plot as life's big plan.

And Brenda

No kids were Trick-or-Treating that Halloween night,
Nothing was open.  I couldn’t buy nor sell.
I could barely see. There wasn’t

Norman Bates Tells His Story

By Elton Camp

Nobody seems to care about the fix I’m in,
So it’s time the true story of my life to spin.

I’ve had no father ever since I was a little child.
Reared by a mother who’d drive anyone wild.

“You have to do anything I tell you to.
Any disobedience you will come to rue.”

She said it would
