          Watch For Others

It’s that time of year again.

When all kinds of spooky things begin.

The witching hour is coming soon.

There will be howling at the moon.

Watch for others.

Creepy things crawling all about.

Blood sucking monsters are all out.

Ghouls and goblins are among the few.

Of the many coming after you.

Watch for others.

Vampires going up against the sun.

Werewolves, howling, have put us on the run.

Zombies stomping to and fro.

Is there no where we can go?

Not to worry, if they get close.

We will shift change and join the host.

Ghosts will be seen on this day.

They will want to do more than play.

Other critters of unknown source.

Will be out making their own course.

Watch for others.

Witches flying on their brooms.

A witches brew will be causing doom.

Rotten, smelly corpses going by.

Every evil that meets the eye.

Watch for others.

I must wake up from this horrible dream.

It is a thriller. All is what it seems.

Skeletons, black cats, and haunted houses.

Ranting, screams, and spells about this.

Jack o lanterns, Frankenstein, slasher’s too.

All are coming after you.

To survive, watch for others.

Always hide, & watch for others.

You & I will watch for others.

Yes, just watch for others.

           The Election Speeches

It’s a scam!! It just can’t be true.

They say there’s one waiting just for you.

Put it aside. Perish the thought.

It won’t work once it is bought.

Like a can opener without any hitches.

The lid is safe. An answer to your wishes.

You’ve seen the adds. You know it’s all fake.

It is almost more than we can take.

All these things happening at the same time.

Each has the answer, said the melon to the rind.

It is a joke. It cannot be done.

Election promises are just for fun.

A pipe dream that cannot happen.

I am saying they are full of crap then.

Is there a smidgeon of truth in all the lies?

Are we a nation of international spies?

Speak it straight and speak it true.

Stop making a fool out of me and you.

A used car salesman would tell less lies.

I can’t believe what I am seeing with my eyes.

If all were true & it could all be done.

It is us peons who would have won.

You know such a thing never happens.

The big “S” has us trapped then

         A ‘Too Realistic’ Dream

I had a terrible nightmare last night.

So scary, it gave me quite a fright.

I couldn’t breathe, the smoke was thick.

Wild fires all around someone had lit.

I turned on the TV & heard bad news.

A pandemic was happening. Paint me blue.

Even earthquakes in diverse places.

It was hot as hell. Sweat on their faces.

Riots & demonstrations going on now.

Some were bellowing like a cow.

Upheaval & destruction everywhere.

On top of that, I couldn’t get air.

What the hell is going on here?

It won’t end well, that I fear.

Everyone was wearing masks.

Still coughing, choking, & making gasps.

I expected zombies to arrive at any time.

The brain eaters were no friend of mine.

I screamed & ran & banged into things.

The power went off; rolling blackout it seems.

At last I finally awoke.

 When a voice said ”It’s time to vote.”
