Seeking grim revenge against persons

That knowlingly & without any remorse

Did remove it from the witch's porch &

Smash it on the rain-soaked street.

And unlike children in halloween costumes

Who solicit treats, often by threatening the

Giver of candy with childish pranks, this

Pumpkin who had on it the witch's spell,

Would have the persons begging for mercy.

This grim revenge had been attested back

To the year 1389, for the witch in question

Performed a little hocus-pocus that would

Last for several hundred years - it was

Meant to be the sum of everyone's fears.

Her incantation wasn't any meaningless

Chant or expression, it was meant to

Magnify a simple purpose - bring about

Grim revenge in the most bone-chilling

Way - bring death to the prankster's play.

So, on every October 31st, a ghastly

Figure of a pumpkin would appear at the

Homes with mischievous children with the

Sole intent of eating their hands, head and

Feet, then bury them in an unmarked grave.

For you see, by eating all those body parts

The little monsters could no longer touch

See or run - and all the pumpkin's entrails

Were not seeds, but rather the remains of

It's victims all covered in blood.
