The Hand That Feeds You

Zombie kids love Trick-or-Treat,

But don’t let that mislead you. 

They believe it’s twice as sweet 

To bite the hand that feeds you.

Dirty Laundry

Feeling fearsome in his shroud

First, he needs to find a crowd.

The mummy yields to modern ways

Facebook selfies rule these days. 

Frequent posting solves a quandary;

Where to air his dirty laundry.

Keeps it civil, not too bitter.

He saves all that stuff for Twitter.

Pumpkin Eater

Peter Peter pumpkin eater

Poses as a trick-or-treater.

Jack-o’-lanterns left and right

He steals to squash his appetite.  

The last one was too hot to handle

Next time, he’ll blow out the candle.

Weigh Up There

Mrs. Skeleton asked her hubby,

“Honey, do you think I’m chubby?”

He assured her, as she groaned,

“You’re not fat, Dear. Just big-boned.

Full Moon

The werewolf’s fists are getting sore

From pounding on the bathroom door. 

That orb in the Earth’s gravitational pull

Is not the only moon that’s full.

Bonegee

So, Skeleton says, “Bungee jump?

No way! You guys are nuts!”

The Mummy taunted, “What’s the matter?

Haven’t got the guts?"

Passion

A gator ate a golfer named Potter

As he searched for his ball in the water.

To the gator’s chagrin, 

The golfer within

Still plays, and has never been hotter.
