A late Halloween villanelle. . .not as scary as you might think. . . |
When you go out on Halloween, Ringing doorbells, Trick-or-Treat. Beware the Vicious Goblin Green He hides in shadows barely seen Watching you upon the street When you go out on Halloween. If your sense of smell is keen, You just might scent his filthy feet Beware the Vicious Goblin Green. Ghost, witch, pirate, or fairy queen, You´re someone he´d like to meet. When you go out on Halloween. Saliva from his mouth is seen He relishes a bite to eat Beware the Vicious Goblin Green Hungry he is foul and mean. But give him candy and he´s sweet. When you go out on Halloween, Beware the Vicious Goblin Green. |
