Premium MemberYou Said It Was Just Halloween

You said it’s just the night relax unwind
But whispers cut like static through the mind

You said it’s just the kids the jokes the play
But footsteps trailed and never walked away

You said it’s just the wind behind the door
But air grew thick and colder than before 

You said it’s just the moon the silver haze
But every street was smoke and phantom blaze

You said it’s just the dark it hides the town
But eyes lit up when all the lights went down

You said it’s just a dream the fear the fun
But dawn came slow and found the street undone

You said it’s just a tale forget move on
But some of us still swear we heard that song

You said it’s just one night it fades by noon
Then something laughed beneath the dying moon


Premium MemberAn Unpaid Debt

With less tomorrows than I've yesterdays
In looking back I have but one regret
Before that last tomorrow fades away
I wish that I could pay an unpaid debt

Back to a summer day so long ago
How frivolous we were with innocence
Two kids in love and way too young to know
Decisions made in haste have consequence

In tenderness I'd kiss away her tears
I'd tell her I am sorry for her pain
Give back the love I'd carried all those years
Convince her that her gift was not in vain

I'd ask for her forgiveness on my knees
Tears of contrition I would surely weep
Then thank her for life's sweetest memory
And with her blessing peacefully I'd sleep

Premium MemberHeroic Pests

Batman had some guests who outdid their stay
By making a muddle with their foul play

Robin was first, yet his diet of late
Were larva and worms that slid off his plate

Spiderman came without hesitation
Except his kids caused an infestation

By crawling about for a place to spin
And webbing the doors so none could get in

He welcomed Green Hornet as a fond guest
But not all his tiny flying pet pests

Ant-man and The Wasp also brought their kids
Which added hundreds of problems, they did

As Batman fluttered behind them that night
He couldn’t refrain from taking a bite
 
Of heroic spawn in many guises
Coz they bugged Batman and came in pint sizes

Premium MemberLong In the Tooth

I went to the Dentist to pull a tooth
And patiently sat in the waiting booth.
All the kids stared at my giant bucktooth;
Needless to say they were very uncouth.

My Dentist, who only worked on us youth,
With all her might pulled out a real shark tooth.
Honest, I’m not fooling; I’ll show you proof.
It’s the size of a great whites’, that’s the truth.

When I was done, I thought it’d be a goof
To show it to my mom, whose name is Ruth.
And don’t you know it she went through the roof,
Just like when I called her, long in the tooth.
