If you celebrate Halloween, beware!

Marilyn Gets Tricked

 

By Elton Camp

 

Halloween is typically a night of petty crime

But it can also provide entry to a ball of slime

 

For a psycho, costumed throngs provide cover

To someone who of violence is a twisted lover

 

To give sweets to kids Marilyn found a delight

But another knock came a bit late that night

 

She opened the door and then gasped in fear

At the leering adult she saw standing near

 

“I have enough sweets and don’t need more”

Is what he said as he shoved through the door

 

Marilyn’s terrified scream didn’t raise alarm

For Halloween is a night dedicated to harm

 

So if you celebrate Halloween, better beware

Since you never know who’s standing there
