Monster Mash Ball

Published by broussardlana on October 20, 2015

Imagine my surprise
late one night
out shopping all day
home within sight
My house all lit up
as if a party was on
there in my car
I was all alone
Nevertheless I went inside
with what greeted me
no place to hide
Party on full
lights on bright
a host of monsters
gave me a fright!
For while I was out
spending my cash
My home became host
to the Monster Mash
There was Frankie and Lilith
dancing a twirl
and Igor and
Dracula biting a girl
My antique lamp toppled
green slime on the rug
my shock when the Wolfman
asked for a hug
Frankenstein and a goblin
macarena dancing
Jason and a witch
Halloween romancing
Frankie said for you
“This mash was meant too”
I had nowhere to run
and what could I do?
I sampled witches’ brew
that I think was plain rum
declined the frog legs
played Wipe Out on drums
Elviria said,
“Wear this on your head”
a sequined headband
for the Day of the Dead
Three little ghosts ran
my cat down the hall
Chucky in the corner said,
“You’re nothing at all.”
I was beginning to worry
wondering if they would stay
but as it happens
they vanished before day
If you come home one night
to a Monster Mash Ball
disquietude, destruction
and an all-out brawl
Nothing can you do
nowhere to run
Let it all hang out
and have some fun!

    You managed to write a poem that is better than the song you were doing an “homage” to, Lana! I really enjoyed this, your cadence was impeccable! 🙂

    Sounds like my kind of party! Why spoil things when you can join in and have such fun. Wonderful poem, and I love that old song. It’s years since I heard it. Thanks for that. 🙂
