October Old World Country Comforts

October Old World Country Comforts

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Ancient castles are always open for business.

"

October Old World Country Comforts


Screams of terror fill in the cracks

Of ancient crumbling castle rocks

Everyone enjoys old world accommodations

Hotels are always cheap but at full capacity

Cries for help escape into the black

Dungeons are open to the public at a price

Faceless creatures slash your back with whips

Purple slime runs down the chamber walls

Chains rattle out a warning for more agony

Snakes crawl with venom for the vital parts

Spiders fill heads with freshly hatched eggs

Flesh eating insects begin to feast

Bacteria wait in line to get the best

No reservations needed in October

You are their favorite trick and treat

The man with a limp comes in twitching

Sharp red eyes bleeding gains attention

Wielding an ax garners more

The hump adds character to the festivities

There will be no beds turned down tonight

What is one more murder more or less

Relax, enjoy the evening and a cigarette

You are our guest. You are next

Our apologies for the mess
