squeamish squealing supernatural shroud
lightly lingering by a light pole, in no way loud
brilliant bumbling boos briefly bent and bowed
showing happy Halloween hijinks to the child-like crowd
Got the "Blues from Boos!"
Crowd Blew! "Booed" on "Blue Suede Shoes!"
Got the "Blues from Booze!"
Grandma's kisses soothe
makes all boo boos go away
as if never there
We do not want to frighten anyone, especially the kids.
This was told to us by the ghost walkers – two Susies and two Sids.
Susie Mom and baby Susie, and Sid One and now Sid Two.
They were careful not to scare anyone, holding in each enormous boo
Under my breath I cuss and mutter
As I step on lego clutter
They sneakily stick inside my feet
All the pain I can't delete
They're like ninjas in the night
And I can't win this ouchie fight
LIVE FOR THE CHEERS, DIE BY THE BOOS
"If you live for the cheers
you'll die by the boos"
Ephemeral joyful pool of tears
exterminate joy and invite foes.
Deceitful applause and wrong peers
are both companions of fools.
Don't live for the world's cares.
Apply your mental tools,
the cheers are thorns over the years;
So, rather be alone than in twos.
"If you live for the cheers
you'll die by the boos";
Same cheerers, being your propellers
will slate you on totem poles.
Refuse to live by the cheers
and focus with the eye of bulls.

somewhere whispering
in the darkness
a collective lime
times a placement of time
that sponsors heartaches
limits of gatherings caroling
howls such feeling moaning
of undesired really and reality
is that the fool know that he's scared
oh! I shall not rally in the mysterious dealings
those of demonic traveling I met him at the institution
where he was in
chains bars his freedom
drowning stumbling falling in the dark
un rated veins sweating songs
living in the same dirty soul
just as the testimony of someone
who goes boo in the night
