The Night Before Surgery
Sharon
Branson
My
mind is a-blur with surgery things
But
challenge to write..... such passion it brings
2007
Halloween for this ol' Hag
Will
be very quiet, I've hit a lil snag
I've
bats in my belfry and corns on my feet
With
that damn full moon, I can't even sleep
So
off to my cauldron for something to drink
Cocktails with
super booze, would work I think
Made
with cats and possum and straw
The
crows for this treat loudly "caw-caw"
Add
bear butts and gator tails, knees of bees
And
delicious it is, my pretty, you'll see.
The ghosts
of surgery are beckoning "COME"
My
pretty, there's hammering and screwing to be done.
But
pain go away, I'll not surrender,
I
have praying friends at Moments to Remember

2nd Place Award
Winner :
The
Halloween Express
Donna
DeLong Matthews
Climb
aboard
Please dont distress
Together we will ride
The Halloween express
The
gates ahead
we will journey beyond
our trip will not end
until the break of dawn
This
trip only happens
in the month of october
and I promise you
Moments to Remember
With
bats and black cats
Ghosts and ghouls
to journey on
most would call us fools
the moon
hangs low
peeking from behind the clouds
With old hags lurking
dressed in rags and shrouds
Their
feet planted firm
refusing to give us way
Will we survive
and see the light of day
The
witches brew
bubbles in their cauldron
offering us cocktails
of bright red crimson
The
night has a chill
that goes to the bone
Oh no dont go
and leave me alone
The
ghouls and goblins
lurk in the dark
suddenly the light dawns
Oh my!!! its an amusement park
