Punkins Gotta Punk
by Kim Richards

In the misty evening night

Arise the Punkins

Eyes glowing firey bright

 .

They rock and roll through tall trees

Seeking a new prey

To devour their souls

 .

Empty porch steps beckon them

Squat and grin so wide

Waiting for mayhem’s hour

 .

Taking Jack-O-Lantern’s place

On Halloween night

Such a sweet evil face

 .

Pounce on the unsuspecting

Young and old alike

Claws vivisecting

 .

Then blooded fangs bite hard

Suck away their soul

With a wheezing breath charred

 .

Sated, the Punkins roll on

To find a new place

Hunting more until dawn.
