There's A Monster In The Bathroom

There's A Monster in the bathroom
I heard him last night
He's all big and hairy as he turns on the light
I lay in my bed with covers pulled tight
He groans and he growls
He must be a sight
His shadow, it grows up to my door
The floorboards are creeking
What is in store
The doorknob starts shaking to back and to forth
He's coming closer across the floor
I pull the covers up over my head

"Please Mr. Monster, do not make me dead!"

He switches the light on and what do I see?
My own loving Papa, looking at me

"Now, My little monster, what is the matter?
I did not mean to make such a clatter
I've only come to wish you goodnight
Not fill your dreams with fear or with fright"

With that he leans over and kisses my cheek
There was no reason to fret or to shriek
For I am a monster too, it would seem
And so as I nuzzle and go back to sleep
I wish you a merry and fun Halloween!



My Spider...

My Spider
by Wednesday Addams

Ihave a groovy little spider
I love to sit down close beside her
You never know where she has been
'Cause all she does is spin & spin
My spider's quite a busy roamer
Which is why I named her 'Homer'
She likes to work & spin all day
And then at night she likes to play

Her web is like My mother's hair
Her eyes have got My father's stare
She may not skip, or twist, or bend
Because a spider's a girl's best friend



The Legend of Cousin Shy

~ The Legend of Cousin Shy ~
{From Halloween with the Addams Family, XI A.S.}

The Legend of Cousin Shy

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, in a little village, there was this tiny little boy named Deetlemo, a very good boy, and he knew the Legend of Cousin Shy.

Cousin Shy is the Spirit of Halloween. The spirit who carves happy smiles on a specially hidden pumpkin, and leaves beautiful gifts at the feet of the Halloween Scarecrow.

And then there was one day when Deetlemo wanted to find out if Cousin Shy was real. And so this little boy carved a mouth on the great pumpkin. And guess what happened?

{"It talked! It talked!"}

{"Yes, that's right."}

He said, "...I------Am the spirit of Cousin Shyyyyyy... I belong to the whole world... you will never see Me, but if children are very good, I will pay them a visit every Halloween. And if you leave a pumpkin in a very special place, I will carve it for you and leave gifts under your scarecrowwwwww..."

{"And that is the legend of Cousin Shy."}

{At the insistence of Fester: "...And they lived happily ever after."}


{The following poem was sent in by Charles Rowe.}

There was once a catholic school cook
whose spoon often shook
at the joys of naughty young urchins
and grabbing their ears
shed berate them to tears
then march them all off to her kitchens

which was a dark greasy place
where in dubious taste
there was hung an evil sign warning
" You are what you eat
so if you fail to be sweet
you will be forcefed chocolate and pudding

Then threatening funnel or saw
shed stuff sweets down their jaw
until their tummies horrendously hurt
which is really quite sad
cause if you think school food is bad
just wait till you get to dessert

After a session or two
the naughtiest child was through
with pranks and light-hearted teasing
and well mannered and neat
they were sickeningly sweet
and competed to be the most pleasing

Until one friday the school cook
opened her kitchens to look
at the sound of young children laughing
and to her horror she found
the students sitting around
eating dead classmates, not fasting

Then the eldest one mocked
saying " We know you are shocked
that our culinary taste is so vulgar
Children should set the tables
and eat vegetables
and try not to saute each other

But presenting proper decor
leaves us quickly bored
and being good all the time is a burden
You taught us we are what we eat
but we've tried being sweet
and decided we prefer to be children "
