Alternately titled: Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

While inside me noggin legions
of monstrous demons abhor
protest being force fed
arcane and obscure
assaying into religious dogma
hence mind chatter goes full bore
thus crafting poem quite a difficult chore,

Get out of my head mister chatterbox!

Ransacking treasure trove 
of maximum headroom.

or orange hair oaf becoming 
forty seventh president
or contracting one
of several viral diseases named pox

The wooden boat, barely a few feet long,
Holding hands, brown and sturdy we climbed on,

Timothy the mouse, once went to school,
With all his pencils and books.
He annoyed his principal, his teachers and friends
And all the cafeteria's cooks.

we've all done it
or we used to do it
nowadays we can feign 
sending messages

in touch-and-go back streets
in dodgy areas at night
in the office to appear 
being busy

to avoid babbling 
with a colleague

The governor galloped toward the gallows
Goblins, ghosts, ghouls gathering in the hallows.
Witches and warlocks wandered in with the weather.
Halloween hurried and harried, hawking heady heather.
Jackpot jack-o-lanterns jabbered with a jubilant jab.
Harboring happiest Halloween Halifax ever...
