When I was a child, every holiday was a surprise
teachers had us designing jack-o-lanterns and cutting out ghosts
this is how I had an inkling Halloween was afoot
It seemed like we were tracing our fingers to make turkeys the next week
Christmas was thrown at us by the music teacher.
We did not have an art teacher back in the day
our teacher was our art teacher
There was no winter program
there was a Christmas program
No one had ever heard the term politically correct
As an adult I can finally predict when the holidays are arriving
They come fast and furiously every year, like tornadoes and windstorms
Orange pumpkins glow so cute
Making children smile in spacesuits
Halloween pumpkins filled with candy
A cosmic stash, so handy-dandy
Each planetary pumpkin has a special face
That beams like stars in aerospace
Each one has a candle inside
Its galactic shimmer is big and wide-eyed
The nose is shaped like a triangle
Without airlocks to be entangled
The mouth may curve in spooky shapes
From every smile, light escapes
A dreamscape shines for starry-eyed kids
Enchanted by secrets the Cosmos forbids.
Warlocks, witches and wizards appear,
as they do this time every year,
exposing craggy faces, screeching sounds,
and sowing blood magic as fear abounds.
Guarding my head with pillowed quilt
hoping my craven face won’t melt!
But I cry out panicked! Horrified!
They pass me by on their frightful ride.
White-hot power rends me paralyzed
and by despair and anguish traumatized.
Terror races through my iced blood
reverberating a tortuous thud.
Ghouls and zombies teeming around
burgeoning in and out around town.
I pray to survive till sun arises
and confront no more horrid surprises.
Halloween is suitably scary.
I am vigilant, and wary.
Once-a-year is enough for me.
I savor being eerie- and freaky-free!!
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.
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
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!
I love halloween
the spirit of the season
new and exciting
Dark orange skies
Fading into black night,
A crescent moon rise
Glowing ghostly white
Skimming overhead
With trick or treaters below,
I watch them tread
Before up I go ...
Flying over corn crops
Reaching out to touch the stars,
Dodging rooftops ...
And parked cars
Above the tree limbs
Sweeping the last leaves,
As I swoop by, skims
The houses' eaves
Over the picket fences
And wrought iron gates,
The night commences
Where the cemetery waits
It is Halloween ...
In all it's sight and sound,
Beautiful to be seen
And I am spellbound!
