A carrion crow sat on an oak,
A gallows tree, for a
carrion crow,
“Soon I’m going to eat
that bloke”
Said the carrion crow
sat on the oak,

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 269
ARE YOU WEARING A MERKIN?
Are you wearing a merkin?
I’m sorry about the
smirkin’
But to be quite honest
Betty
It looked better on
the yeti
IT HAPPENED LAST HALLOWEEN
I stepped out of the car
And was verbally
assailed
As I stood upon my
drive
“Trick or treat”
Came the banshee
chorus
From creatures barely
alive
I was taken aback
By this unprecedented
event
This new tactic they’d
contrived
In the past I had been
safe
Behind locked doors
When the leaches
arrive
But pretending not to
be in
Would not cut it any
more
If I was to survive
I must be as clever
As the candy seeking
predators
And learn to duck and
dive
So, when a firework
went off
And their attention
was distracted
I ran away to hide
THE LITTLE CHILDREN SAY
The little children say
All cute and sweet
On all hallows eve
“Trick or treat”
The little pleading
faces
Look up with innocence
Wide eyed angels
Full of malevolence
A cute kid you can
trust
I haven’t met yet
And what they really
mean
Is tricks and threats
THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
On all hallows eve when the sun has set
The ghosts and ghouls
come out to play
With dripping fangs
and bloody claws
They prowl the street
in search of prey
And when to my door
the fiends appear
I tell the “Trick or
Treaters” to go away
TRICK OR TREAT
When the little boys and girls
Knock at my door for
candy
I must give them what
they want
“Or else” is their
modus operandi
So, with a false smile
I comply
But under my breath I
pray
That by the time
Christmas comes
They’ll all have tooth
decay
THE COSTUMED ARMY
It’s here again
That day we all dread
When once more
We fear the rise of
the dead
But fear not
Our salvation is at
hand
We shall be saved
By an unlikely Band
So be assured
When the time is near
Ghosts and ghouls
Will all quake in fear
When night falls
All the undead will
cower
Trembling in awe
Come the witching hour
As armed with sacks
Our great costumed
army
Will roam the streets
To drive the evil
spirits barmy
So, to protect
yourselves
Keep a proper payment
handy
When the costumed army
Come knocking for some
candy
