BOO!

Halloween is approaching, and so

You'd better watch out for spooks.

Watch out for zombies and vampires and witches.

Most of all watch out for kooks.

 

Ghosts are out there hoping to scare you

And trying to put on the squeeze

For you to think that the COVID vaccine

Is worse than the disease.

 

They haunt the halls of Congress and make

Appearances anywhere,

Looking for innocent victims to

Intimidate or scare.

They don't mind Halloween masks

That might look gruesome or gory.

But wearing masks to save human lives?

That is a different story!

 

Once a zombie bites you, you

Join the walking dead,

Which shows how easy it is for mistrust

And ignorance to spread.

 

Vampires want to feast on the blood

Of truth that runs through your veins,

After that, your appetite

For blood is all that remains.

 

Witches know how to concoct a potion

To make you want to distrust

Our institutions, many of which

They want to see bite the dust.

 

Kooks are scary, for sometimes they

Are harder to recognize,

But once they open their mouths to speak,

You can hear their lies.

 

Though Halloween is a scary time,

Frankly, we have to fear

All of these kooks and zombies and such

Every day of the year.
