The Halloween Grinch

Beware the Halloween Grinch

He really is the worst

He shows up every year

Around October 31^st

He goes around to every house

And steals all the treats

Replacing them with collard greens

(Such nasty things to eat!)

He blows lights out of pumpkins

And he tears down spider webs

And before it’s even 8 p.m.

He sends the kids to bed

He banishes the ghouls and ghosts

And locks bats in their caves

He sends the zombies and

The skeletons back to their graves

He scrapes caramel off the apples

And paints the black cats white

He even shoots down witches

As they fly across the night

He rips the masks off children

And he edits horror flicks

And he empties out the sugar

Out of all the pixie sticks

He coats the streets with garlic

Keeping vampires at bay

And he’ll cover up the moon

So that the werewolves stay away

He’ll steal your toilet paper

So you can’t commit a prank

And he'll board up haunted houses

Using nails and a plank

And if your face is painted

He’ll scrub it clean with suds

And he steals all the ketchup

So you can’t make costume blood

With him around, the frights are gone

You’ll have no chance to scream

And that’s why he’s so horrible—

The Grinch of Halloween
