Cheers

The teenaged apparition failed

To make the Cheering Squad.

She showed a lot of spirit

But she didn’t have the bod.

Big Ol' Sucker

There once was a vampire bat.

He sat and he sat and he sat.

Now he’s ten times as big

As a prize-winning pig

And the chair where the bat sat is flat.

Hollow Headsman

In Sleepy Hollow, it is said,

There lives a man who has no head.

Could be true, ‘cause Heaven knows,

Washington has lots of those.

Werewolf Takes a Hike

A werewolf went strolling around

With friends for a night on the town

Resisting the urge

His bladder to purge

On every fire hydrant he found.

Getting Jacked

The monster, craving something sweet

Got the Trick and not the Treat.

And so, back home he went a sloggin’

Jack-o’-lantern on his noggin.

Joan of ARGH!

The mummy rose and thrashed around,

Rags shook loose and came unwound.

Face exposed brought shrieks and shivers,

Hey, wait a minute. That’s Joan Rivers.

Some Doo

Bat shapeshifting caused him stress.

(Those critters make an awful mess.)

As things piled up, The Count got wiser. 

Guano makes great fertilizer.

Zombie Love

The zombie couple kissed and smiled

Their knock-down, drag-out reconciled.

Hatchets buried, wounds forgotten,

Now he’s dying to spoil her rotten.

Booster Shot

Said the doctor to the ghost,

“Your boo is shot, your shriek is toast.” 

Such a tragic paradox

A poltergeist with worn out shocks.

Waterlogged

The creature from the Black Lagoon

Just HATES it when his fingers prune.

Alas, aquatic life demands

A tolerance for dishpan hands.

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.
