Small Sneeze from my Closet

I heard a small sneeze from my closet
knew it was the gremlin who hides in there
he is usually more cautious, silent but deadly
another sneeze; he must be sick

I got out my Vicks and my Therma flu
grabbed him by the ears and dragged him out
he was horrified, thinking he had been a secret
think again buddy, I was a mother once

he was kicking, biting and scratching me
I barely felt it, due to his small size and tiny teeth
cut it out, I told him I am trying to save your life
he does not speak English, a whisper said

I looked up and saw yellow eyes
It was a vampire bat
Just another monster living in my closet
I did not even know about this one

I pushed the gremlin and Vicks back in and slammed the door
what about that Therma Flu asked the bat?
Crap. An intelligent vampire bat.
There really are monsters in my closet!

Vampire bat looks for a tasty treat
Blood is the only thing he will eat
He bites pink flesh with his razor teeth
Lapping up warm blood that flows beneath

Monica Devil

(The song to be sung in the To The Tune Of... Cruella DeVil)

Monica Devil, Monica Devil, 
If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will, 
To see her is to take a sudden chill, 
Monica, Monica Devil. 

The curl of her lip, the ice in her stare, 
All innocent children had better beware, 
She’s like a spider waiting for the kill, 
Look out for Monica Devil. 

At first you think Monica is a devil, 
But after time has worn away the shock, 
You come to realize, you've met a sly fox, 
Beware of Monica Devil. 

This vampire bat, this inhuman beast, 
She ought to be locked up and never released, 
The world was such a wholesome place until, 
Monica, Monica Devil. 

If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will, 
To see her is to take a sudden chill, 
Monica, Monica Devil. 

She’s like a spider waiting for the kill, 
Look out for Monica Devil. 

Her menacing grin, her sinister style, 
She’s got the look that would make you run a mile, 
The world was such a wholesome place until, 
Monica, Monica Devil.

The Landlord Calls

There’s a tabby ally cat
And a very scabby rat
And a vampire bat
And a very hungry gnat
And a horrid little brat
And they lived in a flat
Where a man in a hat
Saw a stain on the mat
It’s an awful splat
Like a small cow pat
So we need to chat 
Because where we’re at
And from where I’m sat
There’s some tit for tat
Like a democrat
Or a diplomat
With a caveat
To avoid a spat 
Re your habitat
There’s a well known stat
When a pike meets sprat
That the sprat says drat
Can I pay for that
And with cash begat…
Secretariat

Prof Indiana Kibble Kat

Indiana Kibble Kat was the kind of a professor that….
Taught us about adventure with a tip toe tat.
Regaling us with stories pulled out of his hat
Amazing us with his pet vampire bat.
We never had a better teacher than Professor Kat.

All Hallows' Eve

All Hallows' Eve

Among the graying clouds and autumn moon, 
Above treetops, shadows on the moonlit sky
On broomsticks racing by,
Black silhouettes of cackling witches sit.

Lights out and heartbeats drop. 
Garlic hangs high over windowpanes. 
Outside, wind growls, magic and the supernatural thrives.
Monster spiders trailing strands of silk.
Black birds caw-caw, out stretching claws. 
Toad loads muddy pond a dragonfly it croaks for. 
Cat prowling hunt on wicked vampire bat. 
Werewolf howl resonates the night.
Screeching owl watchful eye.
Sound of mournful music all night in the forest. 
Pumpkins in candlelight, 
Crows peck away the scarecrow's hay, 
Ghost lickety-split, screaming fear. 
There is no escaping from the night.

The Me I Could Be

If I painted myself green  and croaked 
sitting beside cattails, I would be a bull frog, right?
If I put on a red satin lined cape and slept in a coffin
could I then be a Dracula or a vampire bat?

If I glued feathers all over my body and cut
off my arms, and attached wings, would I be a cardinal?
Or a chicken or a peacock or a robin or what?

I am tempted to do it, merely to find out after
I finish slithering under this rock searching for
mice to gulp down.

Shh!  Here comes one now, and you know how
tasty they can be.

Comical Cat With His Embellished Hat

Comical Cat with his embellished top hat
Sat at the table with an ugly vampire bat
Along came a bee, all fluffy and phat.
We will be joined shortly by my friend, Freddy Gnat.

Do you like my burgundy ribbon? Asked the cat
Showing off his silky flamboyance, so shiny and fat.
Not as much as your bowtie, said Freddy the gnat.
Eyeing a small inviting hole in Comical Cat’s gorgeous hat.

Tale of Heretta and Mixie

Heretta had a mission today and she took her cat
Can we also take my dog friend and his vampire bat?
Sorry, her mother replied, That might scare grandma you know
So Heretta and Mixie her cat, took off through a layer of snow.

I do not think anything scares grandma, Heretta sad with a grouse.
Mixie thought this was hilarious and swiftly told her friend Klaus.
Klaus cannot keep a secret; worse, he called up grandma and said
“Your daughter thinks a bat will scare you. Grandma said “Oh, Fred!”

Fred was Klaus' evil twin, and not nice to most of the family.
How he could be impolite and rude, is not so easy to see.
His parents were marvelous, his grandmother is a peach.
When he got older he lived with them; they had their share - each!

Ebony Cat and Pumpkin Bright

A wizard, a witch and a wand went that way.
But the Ebony Cat and the Pumpkin decided to stay.
They had heard about the antics of a bumpkin, tragic.
They knew one thing, these three had black magic.

A scarecrow gave them a tip of the day.
He told them of a corn maize where they could play.
The wizard, witch, and the wand promptly came back.
They picked up the pumpkin and the black cat.

She will be my familiar, the witch cackled with a groan.
Ebony Cat was terrified; she was afraid of this ugly old crone.
Pumpkin decided to show some magic of his own.
He rolled toward the gate, and got out his cell phone.

He called a warlock to come and secure the old witch.
It was a friend of his father’s, and the guy had a twitch.
These two crazy old coots both cast a spell. 
Which promptly put them both into a deep dark well. 

The witch was the first to get out, and she bewitched the cat.
Transmogrifying her into a beautiful but tiny vampire bat.
The warlock was on her tail, and changed the spell into turquoise blue. 
So the bat became a cat and the pumpkin did  too.

Crow Loves Turtle Dove

Vampire bat with an injured wing.
Swoops through the air with a bit of a swing.
Crow drops down with a caw and a ring.
It is glamorous, a really shiny new thing.

What will you do with it the bat asks?
I’ll put it in her nest, next to the flask.
Is that wine? The bat asks with alarm.
Knowing that drunk crows lose their charm.

Sure says the crow. It’s no big deal.
They soon hear her calling him a heel.
The engagement did not work out this time.
He came back sober, with a shiny dime.

Okay, she agreed, but I want the ring too.
A greedy crow, but what could he do?
He had fallen flat out head over heels in love.
With this cute little number, sexy turtledove.

The Frustrated Witch

The frustrated witch was tired of that silly ghost with his crazy rule.
She enlisted the help of a trickster vampire bat and a disgruntled ghoul.
They played some tricks on that ghost and sent goblins his way.
The goblins brought along a Dracula, fresh out of his coffin today.

Grim reaper heard about it and put in advice worth a nickel.
He had creeped in the back carrying a crazy black sickle.
Spider monkey came by to add in his two cents while sniffing glue. 
Witch had so much advice now, she did not know what to do.

Can you just listen to me? She asked all concerned.
They did not care. Frankenstein came in for his turn.
The silly ghost laughed at his nemesis little fix.
He thought it was great that he was confused and betwixt.

Vampire Bats attack cattle and people
Transmitting deadly rabies

When they carry the deadly virus
