THE GREAT PUMPKIN RIDE
The Midnight Ride on Halloween
could not
compare to Paul Revere;
There was no
warning of what was to come,
for The Great
Pumpkin was already here!
Warlock “Blaise”
- He cheered at the reins,
while most townsfolk
were still fast asleep;
His Great Pumpkin
rolled in, on cast iron wheels,
through dead
silence, not even a peep
Suddenly, all of
the mayhem broke loose
It forced the townsfolk up on their feet
From beds to
windows, they did peer out
- Was this a trick,
or was this a treat?
When Warlock
“Blaise” fiercely pulled on the reins,
The Great
Pumpkin slowed down his pace…
He popped up his
stem and opened his top -
Laying fear on
everyone’s face
Out of the Pumpkin,
they came one by one…
The Ghosts, the
Goblins, the Witches of the Night!
They danced and
screeched in the quiet streets,
casting huge shadows by each window’s light
The townsfolk
hid behind closed doors,
as each Witch
rode past on a broom
The eerie and
wicked Halloween crew
cast spells of
Halloween doom
There were Spiders
and Skeletons lurking about
The Witches left
foul brew at each door
Warlock “Blaise”
rose to his feet, sang a devilish tune,
but the
townsfolk couldn’t take anymore!
They ran for
their ammo and loaded their guns
All windows were
opened full wide
They shot at the
Ghosts, Goblins, Witches galore
and smiled as
each fell - with pride!
‘Twas the
“young” Warlock’s time to meet his fate,
as he cowered
behind The Great Pumpkin’s shield
But someone shot
him, straight through the heart;
- and “Blaise” died
on his own battlefield.
The Great
Pumpkin rode off, on his cast iron wheels -
He left his sinful
friends dead in the street
He rode out of
town, without looking back,
and unwillingly
claimed defeat
The townsfolk
came out of their homes with glee,
and burned all
the evil that fell in their way
They took back
their streets, on this Halloween night,
as "The Great
Pumpkin Ride" faded by day!
The next time a Warlock-driven Pumpkin rides into your town, be prepared at your windows to take them down. Do not wait to see if it's a "trick or a treat", because you may be the one unwillingly claiming defeat!!!
A Happy Halloween to All...Enjoy the treats - not the tricks...Ha! Ha!
