Open Heart Surgery


Surgery, surgery
Open heart surgery
Hands covered in blood,
Guilty of perjury

Sticky red spiders
Crawling your skin
Sliding down to the floor
Everlasting sin

Tip toe, tip toe,
Around the dead,
Wouldn’t want them to wake,
And bite off your head

Careful now, doctor,
A twitch, an itch,
One move could be fatal,
Steps away from a ditch

Halloween, Halloween
Spooks and fright,
Ghastly terrors
Awaken at night

Nightmares arise
From the gallows they hung
An old creaky skeleton,
Who’s missing a lung.

Parentless, friendless,
Crying little boy
Alone in the street,
Lost his toy

Angry Ms. Poet,
Too confused to think,
Creating spooky rhymes,
Wishing she’d shrink.
