The screams I heard on Halloween
Made me a nervous wreck.
The shreiks came out so eerily
The hair stood on my neck.

For two years straight I've heard that sound
That stood my hair on end.
And, when I walked home late tonight
I heard it once again.

Real scared, I stopped and looked around
There's nothing I could see.
A cold chill then ran up my spine
There's something touching me.

I froze there for a moment, then
I quickly spun around.
My knees were shaking terribly
My voice would make no sound.

I felt a cold and clammy hand
Brush up against my face.
But when I looked into the eyes
There was a vacant space.

Two gaping holes where eyes once were
My blood froze in my veins.
That's when I got a real good look
At what's called Long John's brains.

There was this green slime oozing out
And dripping through his eyes.
Those eerie shreiks I heard that night
Were Long John's pitiful cries.

Oh, my goodness, Dovie... you've given me the shivers! *G* That kitty kicking sailor is scary enough at best of times... but I didn't know he had brains??? *puzzled look*

Enjoyed the poem... big hugs to both the poet and the good sport scalawag you wrote about. *S*

Misletoe thanks much. It was poking fun at Long John. I had a good time writing it.
Part of it is true though. I'll leave that to you all to figure out. Heheehe

Thanks Startime! Nope, one never does know.  

ROFL Ruth! I didn't know he did either. Love ya lady!  



Rex, thanks for enjoying it again.

The Lady of Shallot, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
