MULLING SPICES
Some like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves
As they simmer in wine on their stoves,
While some others like zest
And think allspice is best
With anise in their pumpkin bread loaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s this girl in a horror show feature
And a monster who\u2019s trying to reach her,
So to frighten and scare
By inhaling her hair:
It\u2019s Joe Biden, the sleazy swamp creature.

\u201cReese\u2019s Pieces? Kit Kat? Milky Way?
M&Ms? Butterfinger? Payday?
Hershey Bar? Baby Ruth?\u201d
\u201cTo tell you the truth,
I eat only nondairy, okay?\u201d
(2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Halloween has become a big bore.
I don\u2019t like it as much as before.
What\u2019s the reason? you ask.
I\u2019ve been wearing a mask
For so long it\u2019s no fun anymore.
(2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every night we get tired and we yawn,
It gets dark and stays dark until dawn:
Every year, Halloween,
All these monsters are seen,
But next morning the monsters are gone.
(2020)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had lots of ideas what to be,
But my costumes were all non-PC:
Halloween\u2019s not so fun
When there\u2019s so much to shun,
So I guess I\u2019ll just dress up as me.
(2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deep in Boondoggle Bog, the Beast thrives,
Until one day The Donald arrives.
\u201cThey are draining the swamp!\u201d
She shrieks, running: clomp, clomp.
\u201cHe is coming! Run! Run for your lives!\u201d
(2017)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI may act like Elmer Fudd
And appear to be a dud,
But I\u2019m truly spectacular,
The awesome Count Barackula,
And I want to suck your blood.\u201d
(2011)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the demons we all have been taunted
As unnatural powers were flaunted,
But the townsfolk will rout
And then drive the fiends out
Of the House on the Hill that is haunted.
(2009)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Halloween we all shout \u201cTrick or Treat!\u201d
As we hit every house on the street.
The next morning we wake
With a bad stomach ache,
\u2018Cause we had too much candy to eat.
(2009)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the change in the House status quo, see
The new Madame Speaker Pelosi
Enduring the glare
With the crazed, glassy stare
Of a transgendered Bela Lugosi.
(2007)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be summoned from slumberous state
To endorse the biennial slate;
Then it\u2019s back to the grave,
Where we\u2019ll try to behave
\u2018Til another electoral date!\u201d

Linus scans the nightscape scary
For a form imaginary:
There, looming tall
Like an orange ball,
Glows a pumpkin-colored Kerry!
(2004)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What compares to the horrible fright
That will haunt us on Halloween night?
Consider the fear,
As elections draw near,
Ghoulish candidates soon will excite!
(2003)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bush had plenty of sleep before,
Knowing now he will get no more,
With the clanking chain
And the cries of pain
From the ghost of a grieving Gore.
(2000)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There once was a man named Vlad
Who was known for a habit he had:
With such pride in his nailing,
When he took to impaling
No one ever would challenge his chad.
(2000)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a vile conglomeration
Of every abomination:
In Clinton\u2019s wake,
Only villains will make
A bid for the nomination.
(1999)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mad doctor was testing a drug
When he felt on his labcoat a tug:
\u201cMaster, oh Master,
We\u2019ve got to work faster
To destroy the Millennium Bug!\u201d
(1999)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From justice they craftily fled
And avoided the sanctions they dread;
Now O.J. and Bill
Can linger at will
In the night of the fast-living dead.
