Bloody Pumpkins

When the spooky month of October comes,

my favorite activity is carving pumpkins.

Yet, where we live pumpkins don’t grow,

but there’s multiple houses around the neighborhood.


Therefore, I chose the lottery winners,

crying and pleading to win the competition.

I sow their mouths, remove all the guts,

to start carving on the beautiful chosen

that’ll represent my spooky house.


Although some blue shirt men try to stop me,

handcuffing, telling me I’m eliminated,

I still showcase my gorgeous and mysterious art

for the neigbours judge

my bloody human pumpkins.

You certainly captured gruesome in this. I shouldn't have read it just before the kids come by for candy, as now I shall have to be on the lookout for one who says not "Trick or treat." but just "Trick"....
