 Isobel

Halloween sparkle returned once more

Knocking at every welcoming door

Riding in on amber wing

Inviting all to dance and sing

Gliding alongside the Autumn hue

…While “Isobel” answered to her yearly cue

 

She was awakened by each haunting wail

from Maidens she enticed to the Devil’s Lair

Wearing a smile upon her wicked face

Witch “Isobel” came back, dressed in blackened lace

She chanted from her book of evil spells

And spritzed the air with ghastly smells

She alerted the Young Maidens her presence was near

Striking their souls, igniting their fear

 

These Maidens were tortured by Warlocks of Old

From centuries ago, whose hands were ice cold

They were forced to dance for Satan himself

Adorned with wrist bells, and ankle chains, from “Isobel’s” shelf

Each year She returned brought the Young Maidens some hope

For they begged her to free them, but she told them to cope!

Their hair all a mess, their white robes stained with blood

She painted their faces with strokes of Hell’s mud

 

Yes - Halloween sparkle returned once more

Knocking at every welcoming door

Riding in on amber wing

Inviting all to dance and sing

Gliding alongside the Autumn hue

…Yet “Isobel” answered to her yearly cue

 

The Maidens drew strength as they united as one

They had a plan for “Isobel”, which would force her to run

And She and the Warlocks would soon learn their fate

Poor “Isobel” underestimated the Maidens, of late

The Maidens requested fine wine in a chalice

And promised to dance, but their intent was pure malice

“Isobel” agreed to serve them fine wine

She offered them biscuits for the evening dine

 

“Isobel” and the Warlocks sat on red cushioned thrones

While the Maidens entertained them to quiet their bones

The Maidens sang and danced, like ne’er before

“Isobel” and the Warlocks screamed out for more

The Maidens in unison stripped down to their skin

Set their robes all afire, to their audience’s chagrin

They tossed the burning cloths upon “Isobel” and the Rest

And watched them all burn at each Maiden’s behest

 

Now Halloween sparkle returned once more

Knocking at every welcoming door

Riding in on amber wing

Inviting all to dance and sing

Gliding alongside the Autumn hue

…but Dear “Isobel” will no longer answer her cue!
