![]() One Eyed Pointy Teeth Grinning Orange People EaterA Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader
Two Eyed Pointy Teeth Grinning Orange People Eater Halloween curse on all who venture into the maze Of Jack-O-Lantern alley off Darkness Street Better move quickly and don’t look it in the eye Run don’t walk, you better move those feet I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! It all began last All Hallows Eve I ventured into this alley without any fear I walked surefooted without a care I’ve been dead now a whole full year I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! They tried to warn as I warn you now Jack-O-Lanterns aren’t friendly at all Smile their wicked smiles, warning beware Everyone who hears me heed my call I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! Don’t look back if you’ve entered the maze Keep pushing forward until you get through Don’t stop to admire all the unique designs One will catch you and complete its coup I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! A glint in its eye and a smile across its face Those smiles are fascinating, yes it’s true That’s what lures us in and snuffs out our lives Beware run fast, it is coming after you I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! Now don’t turn that corner from Darkness Street Into the alley where Jack-O-Lanterns are seen My warning you have heard and you must heed Or be next year’s ghost on Halloween I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! My scary Halloween tale is almost done You listened and the color drained from your face Do you hear them laughing at you tonight Jack-O-Lanterns and I have set the pace I’ve come back this night to tell the tale Listen to my warning or moan and wail The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops! I’m hiding in the shadows laughing too I’m alive, oh yes and you are the fool Pumpkins can’t eat; they’re empty inside You believed every word; now isn’t that cool I’ve fooled you my friend on All Hallows Eve It was easy as pie, to my words you did cleave A pumpkin didn’t eat me, the jokes on you … Oops! It was a two Eyed Pointy Teeth Grinning Orange People Eater Ha ha he he ho ho © 2008 Nancy Lee Shrader |
