it's the middle of October
and you know what that means
i went to the store
to get a costume and some candy
but when i got to Target
what i saw made me scream
it wasn't spooky skeletons
but bright Christmas trees!
it's not yet time for Christmas
it's time for Halloween
say yes to black and orange
say no red and green
there should be costumes - candy - pumpkins
black kitty cats
it's time for Halloween
put the Christmas stuff back!
i asked to see the manager
and he just laughed at me
but nobody was laughing
when i kicked that Christmas tree
he sang Mariah Carey songs
and tried to chase me down
i grabbed a giant candy cane
and beat him to the ground
a crowd of parents gathered
i asked them to think back
to a time when they went door to door
dressed in shades of black
we gave it up for witches
for zombies, ghouls, and gore
we gave it up for spooky tales
and delicious candy corn!
we tied up the manager
we turned down the lights
we told some spooky stories
and laughed into the night
in my headless horseman costume
i galloped out the store
as Mr. Poe once said on Christmas
in October? ... nevermore!!!!
