This is a huge mess. Enjoy! Written for the Spam Slinger's Monster Mash.
Do you know how hard it is to find a rhyming couplet in Japanese?



He rides in silence, as the night
Except for the thundering hooves
Of his fire snorting horse, McThooves
His head ain't screwed on him too tight

He's not really headless you know
His head lolls off to the side
Attached to sinew and his amply stretched carotid artery
It makes a sickening smack
As it bangs against His shoulder guards.
Smack, smack, smackeddy smack

His pea coat has deep seated grooves
It gives folks a horrible fright
From blood dripping down left and right
From his herky-jerky head moves

Smack, smack, smackeddy smack
His head swings to and fro
Like a sickening pendulum of gore
His carotid wasn't garroted
A massive brain hemorrhage caused his condition
Of not quite headlessness

Watashi wa heddo resu kishudesunode, kare wa iimasu

Fluttershy wa watashi no bakkuappu-badesu



English translation:

I am the headless horseman, so he says,

Fluttershy is my back up horse
