In my current pursuit of learning and trying every style of poetry I stumbled across "Clerihews" tonight and thought
I'd give the style a try.
Here's some humorous Halloween Clerihews about some famous scary characters.


The Wicked Witch of the West
Is feeling very depressed
The hag soon disappears
As she melts away in her tears


Alcoholic Frankenstein's
Drunk again on Vino wine
Yet his walk is not the clue
He staggers when he's sober too!


Imprudent Count Dracula
Riding in an Acura
Got injured in a car wreck
After biting the drivers neck


Casper the Friendly Ghost
Vacationed on the coast
He tried and failed to tan
For only the living can


Michael Myers
Has bad desires
And causes fright
On Halloween night


Crazy Freddy Krueger
Has claws like a cougar
You better stay awake
For your life is at stake


The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Once sauntered into a saloon
And scared away all the outlaws
With his scaly skin and claws


The ancient Mummy
Was a dummy
For taking cigarette drags
And setting afire his rags
Mean Hannibal Lechter


The keen cuisine collector
He'll welcome you into his shanty
You'll taste good with some Chianti
