A Nightmare Before Christmas

A Nightmare Before Christmas
 What an awesome movie.
 Beyond creativity.
 Released in 1993.
 Animated movie 100 times.
 Is it a Hallween movie?
 Is it a Christmas movie?
 You decide.
 It could be both dark and light.
 So many characters.
 A really cool plot about him and her.
 In between the lines.
 Was alove story.
 One was in prison.
 One was always wondering.
 What is Christmas?
 I am Jack the king of the pumpkin patch.
 All dress up as Santa.
 Spooky, creepy, toys to drop from the night sky.
 Lights sparkling, fireworks blaring.
 It’s Christmas time for Halloween.
 Sally and Jack, true love finely.


Premium MemberThe Haunted Spirit

It whispers low on midnight’s breath,  
A shadow wreathed in mist and death.  
Not born of grace, but spectral might,  
It haunts the veil 'tween dark and light.  

It stirs the winds, it bends the flame,  
A nameless force none dare to name.  
Through hollow halls, its echoes creep,  
Disturbing souls that once could sleep.  

A ghostly hymn, a mournful wail,  
It rattles chains that time made frail.  
A shrouded guide, a cursed friend,  
To those who stray where sorrows end.  

Its eyes, unseen—yet ever near,  
It feeds upon the breath of fear.  
With spectral touch, it marks the air,  
A lingering chill of pure despair.  

Yet some would call upon its hand,  
To guard their steps through haunted land.  
A force unknown, its wisdom deep,  
Though bound within the night’s cold keep.  

So heed the whispers in the night,  
When lanterns flicker, dim with fright.  
The Haunted Spirit waits below,  
In mist and moonlight’s spectral glow.

Halloween
blackish, villainous
haunting, frightening, chilling
jack-o-lanterns, treats, gifts, christmas lights
rejoicing, lightening, wrapping
cheerful, enjoyable
Christmas

Poor Mrs.Lotty became so confused,
But because of her age she's excused.
She adores decorating.
But what she is creating,
Has the neighborhood somewhat amused.

On Halloween she put up her trèe.
There were ghosts in the nativity!
Santa wore a pilgrim hat,
The tree topper was a bat!
None could fault her creativity.

The wreath made of fall leaves on the door,
Was decked out and like never before.
Pumpkin, snowman, and turkey,
Seemed to me a bit quirky.
But it was festive, that is for sure!

Halloween is not just for kids these days,
as I found one night when all was ablaze;
a scary creature grabbed me,
and I kicked so I could flee ...
turns out it was my neighbour, old Mr. Mays !

Once, I was thinking of Thanksgiving food,
and the joy and fun mom had with her brood;
oh, fat turkey was just chilling,
and mom's dance moves were just thrilling ...
the oven never on . . .  we had fast-food !

Mom yelled, Dad get a nice big Christmas tree,
so, off to the lot me and dad did flee;
we said, please we want one big, 
one bigger than last years twig ... 
stuck in door and we could not get it free !

Happy Halloweenie

A wiener dog I’ve got so teeny.
I dressed him up like a small genie.
On Halloween day
I’m able to say
that I’ve got my own Halloweenie.

Tom the Turkey

Tom the turkey was puffed up with pride.
In the farmer’s truck he got to ride.
He felt great till plucked,
then learned his life sucked
when inside a big pot he got fried.

St. Nick’s All Fueled Up

Every Christmas Eve, St. Nick proceeds
to go sleigh racing doing good deeds.
Though with gas costs so high,
he still flies to the sky -
Rudolph’s farts - all the gas that he needs.

Tod turkey; a committed drama king
Loved parties for the fun that he could bring
So this Halloween
Tod Turkey was seen
With a fake severed head beneath his wing

Though Tod was praised for that scary effect
Thanksgiving’s given him time to reflect
An oven that’s hot
Is precisely what
A bird who tempts fate should come to expect

But then Tod turkey had a stroke of luck
He cleverly escaped the dreaded pluck
He ran fast to survive
Singing Staying Alive
But did he see out Christmas - Did he f—

Cute ghosties and witches are seen
And monsters are part of this scene
Here it’s called ‘Hop Tu Naa’
It’s quite easy to say
We never say it’s Halloween!

Each Thanksgiving I eat beef jerky
Thus saving the life of a turkey
Someone killed that poor cow
So I’m sobbing hard now
And moving to vegan Las Kerky!

BE NICE AT HALLOWEEN


Trick or treaters were having a good time
Grumpy Joe said you aren't getting a dime
He swore then he went inside
Kids were upset and some cried
So, on his porch they threw foul smelling slime...



     THANKSGIVING HORROR


For Thanksgiving Pete asked Sue to his house
For eats he had ice cream, turkey, and grouse
Sue let out a loud scream
When out of the ice cream
A small head appeared t'was a baby mouse...



     CHRISTMAS  DISASTER


Fred went with pals for a Christmas curry
Felt pains and said guys "I've got to hurry"
But Fred was left enraged
All the loos were engaged
Felt warmth as his trousers filled with slurry...

Holidays are coming; the first is near
Halloween is a night that many fear
But the bravest ones boast
"I'm not afraid of ghosts!"
Until eerily haunting cries they hear.

There's feasting on November's holiday
Giving thanks for our blessings, we pray
But I burned the turkey
So, we ate beef jerky
On a table set in splendid array

Christmas; the holiday season of mirth
Jen partied until the time she gave birth
There was too much good cheer
We drank three kegs of beer
On New Year's Day, not a cent were we worth

Toll and tallow

How dark the air that winter brings to bear
Its dampness crawls into my very soul
A sickly moon attempts some light to share
As through the mist a bell begins to toll

Against all odds, in saturated air
A moth flits round the incandescent glow
Of a candle flickering in despair
From witnessing that masochistic show

A fledermaus is beaten to its prey
By a widow descending on a thread
Vague shadowed forms of hounds are stood at bay
Watched over by an owl that turns her head

Two amber eyes now pierce this witching night
For tricks and treats that dwell beyond our sight ~

Our Halloween cat finally brought home,
Cuteness on display like models in Rome,
Even it shines so nice,
Like jewels of good price.
Fun smiles when it's allowed to freely roam.

Two cat buddies thought they had a new friend,
This big-eyed stranger toy cat could not bend,
Having a sway motion,
With no emotion.
To all their cat plays its mood could not blend.

Its curious hosts never saw its jumps,
Like a drunkard its walk is full of slumps,
So smittened so bad,
To make it feel sad,
But when it got shattered they both felt trumped.

Holiday Humour - Halloween

I can’t seem to find my wand,
without it this spell won’t bond!
I had it last night,
with those imps who bite.
I’ll summon help from beyond!

 Her lover left her on Halloween
 and then ran off with the zombie queen
 She sat there sipping wine
 Looking like Frankenstein
 She saw a ghoul and he looked so keen

 They went to the ball in a limousine
 She and the ghoul,  it was a monstrous scene
 and so they danced all night
 With some boos and a fright
 She puckered her lips, it was glowing green!

End of Summertime

On a misty, foggy October morning
a low, cold wind spreads the smell of burning bark
slashed from our forest trees.

As the haze builds
the town contorts into Sleepy Hollow,
now the Headless Horse Man is expected to follow.

There, falls the sounds of dew and rain
and the birds that begin to awake
but the leaves and the trees are as still as can be.

Through the misty dew can I still see
the red and the orange and the green
of falls changing leaves.

Then I check my calendar screen
for the end of Summertime creeps
ironically on Monday's eve
wrenching us into the season of Hallows Eve.
