Jeepers Creepers !

My entry for the Halloween contest...

Halloween is drawing near, I hope it’s not as terrifying as last year!

So many ghosts & ghouls came to my door, trick or treat their implore!

First Frankenstein tall and green, I felt sorry for him know what I mean?

Next Dracula scenting blood, but he’s just an amorous old stud!

A werewolf knocked awful hairy, I just smiled, he's not that scary!

Then a mummy wrapped in linen, from ear to ear had me grinning!

A zombie pretending to be dead, did not fill me full of dread!

along with several ghosts in white, had me chuckling an amusing sight!

The invisible man made me grin, I easily saw straight through him!

To each and every one I gave a treat, even a ghoul likes a sweet!

My final visitor a wicked witch, I laughed so much, I took a stitch!

Then she pulled off her mask and I got the fright of my life, Jeepers Creepers it was the wife!

Hahahaha! Love this very humourous write, dear Tom. Love how you found none of the usual ghouls scary until your last visitor showed up! What an amazing twist at the end! Very nicely done! Admiration for your poetic skills, Tom. I feel dear Mrs. Tom has an equally wonderful sense of humour as you have and saw the funny side immediately, bless you both. My Mr. Tom would fail to grasp the delightfully funny side if I wrote it about him. He's recovering from a dislocated shoulder at the moment, so I will spare him this year, but who knows what next year will bring. He might have a surprise too! Wonderful little gem, Tom. Love it and thank you for sharing, my friend...

[Tom]

Thanks as always Marie and thrilled you gotta a chuckle out of this one, and best regards to your hubby hoping he mends up well, cheers for now!

[Marie]

Most welcome always, dear Tom and thank you for your kind wishes to Tom. Hope he mends up well too!!! Cheers, dear Tom and thank you again, dear friend...

Ah, this reminded me that we must start collecting sweets and fruit for next month's ghoul invasion.
My wife is taking me around , but has decided I won't need any sort of disguise. I think she was inspired by your poem. I had enjoyed it up to then - now you have a lot to answer for. lol.

Thanks once more Norman and indeed it's getting close to that time of the year again, just hope Mrs Tom does not try that trick again ?? Lol...

[Woody]

haha vey nicely done and so funny. the ending is a beaut.
I hope you kept it from the wife :)

[Tom]

Indeed not Woody, she was first to proof it, after all Mrs Tom has a good sense of humour too, didn't she marry yours truly here ??

[Woody]

yes what was I thinking?
birds of a feather, eh?

[Flora]

[Tom]

[Tom]

Thank you Jonathan, but when the lovely Mrs Tom suggested I didn't need a false-face for Halloween, I came up with this..( Touche ) !

Lol Tom Your very welcome

[Abdul Aziz]

Haha, I laughed throughout the poem. Every time I came upon something I liked, I made a mental note to quote it in this review. But then the next line topped it or was its equal, and by the time I finished reading the poem, I feel compelled to quote it in its entirety. Which I shall not do, and instead add this to my library!

[Tom]

Thank you Abdul, very happy to know you enjoyed this!

[Angi]

Ha! Better be careful calling the wife a wicked witch, Tom! I love Halloween and passing out treats to all the little monsters. Cute poem. Angi~

[Tom]

Thank you Angi !

[MsJewel]

An adorable Halloween tale - cute and clever! Good luck in the contest. Your poem reads like a winner to me! :) Julie

[Tom]

Thank you Julie !

[Dhaye]

Funny and clever, Tom. This one is different from other Halloween-inspired pieces.

I laughed at the perfect ending you have made here especially this phrase:
"...I got the fright of my life, Jeepers Creepers it was the wife!" I know that it has been made a joke that the husband looks submissive to the wife.

I remember the movies...one, which has this title if translated in English "There's No Strong Husband In A Smart Wife" and the other, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" ...where the wives are smart enough to equal and even overcome their husband's strengths.

This is the real Jeepers Creepers. LOL. Bravo!

[Tom]

Thank you dhaye, yes indeed Mrs Tom is a strong lady but she also has a good sense of humour !!lol

[Chris]

Chuckling here... good ending. It is good to get family involved...makes everyone younger.

[Tom]

There's no doubt about that Chris & thanks again !
