There once was a young man named Rich

Who decided to marry a witch

On their wedding night

He got such a fright

When she scratched him where it didn’t itch

There once was a young lass named Robin

Who decided to romance an old goblin

On their very first date he thought they should mate

So she sent the old goblin a hoblin’

There once was a young man named Jules

Who loved to hang out with the ghouls

But their conversations were tacky

Because he was always their lackey

 He became the favorite of the Ghoul’s fools

There once was a fellow named Jack

An O’lantern descendent from way back

And at this time of year

His good name it’s clear

Is on the verge of a seasonal hijack

There once was a young man named Pete

Who decided to go trick or treat

But he chose the wrong day

And found out the hard way

There were no neighborhood treats to deplete

There was a young man named Clayton

Who made a Halloween contract with Satan

Though he thought he was clever

He learned the real meaning of forever

When the terms of the deal he tried to straighten

There once was a young man named Duncan

Who demanded a halloween pie made of Punkin’

His wife not amused

Just simply refused

And his ego was suddenly shrunken
