Poem
Now I lay me down to sleep… I pray the Lord my mind to keep… Zombies are gathered all around, trying to keep me from my sleep. They want to be the futures’ new symbols, for All Hallows Eve. They brought their pickets to my door, and now, won’t leave. I swear! You see, we were to do a play, and instead of Shakespeare in the Park! We were to do a Jurassic World play, with a Halloween theme, of course. But Zombies wanted to do a Zombie Vaudevillian play, so sheik! So sharp! Where they’ll show off their ‘Thriller’ talents, show that they, totally rock! They found costumes, on a great quest, raiding the cemetery, for it’s best. Dragon’s fighting back. You bet! After all, he’s the shoo in, for the TRex. We decided on a dance off, to see who wins, the theme next year, my dear. I just hope, IF the Zombies lose, they won’t bite us, literally, in our rears. Zombies are stubborn, refusing to lose, so paid the witches to see to our fall. Who then bewitched us to nightmares, most supreme, bringing us, to a crawl! Many nightmares later it seems, we decided to put them both, into the theme. After all, if Dragon lost the part, his legendary hotfoots would make us scream. So starting with Jurassic Park, the monster mash, where Dragon lit every torch. His penguins, as raptors, jumped like lemmings off the stage, in 3’s, of course! They danced up to, our security team, the Troll Frankenstein’s, you gotta know? Then Zombies in the audience, jumped up, to Dance to ‘Thriller’, so Cool, to go! The competition was back on, as all came back up to the stage floor, in force! Witches’ fog covered the floor, as Zombies danced our raptors, off the floor! Our Raptors fell like lemmings, off the stage, as Zombies cheated, so not to fail! Now, Dragon, in retaliation, sent Zombies toppling off the stage, with his tail! This might have turned rather ugly, but never fear! Little old me, was here! I decreed, who won the most audience on their side, got the trophy, so dear! Finally the Troll Frankenstein’s won the prize, as all ran in fear, to their side. Then all took a bow TOGETHER! It was a Witch made miracle, I’m very sure! I can now, again, lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord…My mind to keep… So Beware of Zombies, Kind to Witches! And Have a Happy Halloween!... In laughter made stitches...
