In my current quest 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.
Update/Repost:
**Rewrote some of these and added a few more**

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 but failed to tan
For only the living can


Michael Myers
Has bad desires
And causes fright
On Halloween night


Wicked 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 cranky Mummy
Is a dummy
For taking cigarette drags
And setting afire his rags


Mean Hannibal Lechter
The keen cuisine collector
Will welcome you into his shanty
You'll taste good with some Chianti


Phsychotic Mr. Hyde
Is Jekylls' evil side
The doctor drank his brew
And one man became two


King Kong combated Godzilla
The match went to the gorilla
The lizard ain't quite the menace
When it comes to playing tennis

X_X, you know I love your clever clerihews! They read better now that you have them separated into stanzas.

btw, you can go into edit (paper and pencil icon above your poem and drop the Hannibal line down to the next stanza.)

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Happy Halloweenie hugs,
EA
