Vanity

Butter roasted nut…….. Check!  Oh yes… but the clincher was the “Pilgrim in a Box” costume he ordered from “The Festive Squirrel’ catalog. Sigmund was sure that he was a shoe in for the title of Harvest King this year!

Lady Griselda

Lady Griselda looked at the date
“Good heavens!” she said
“I’m running quite late!”

“The Coveny Sisters have already started!”
So she packed up her tools
and quickly departed.

And just for good measure she mixed up some dust
Then she sprinkled her broom
Chanting “Salem or bust!”

Thriller

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’alls neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
