2011 Halloween Costumes Poems

2011 Halloween Costumes Poems

At Halloween now, there's beautiful costumes to see
Imported from China as cheap as can be
It's a huge event but it wasn't always so
A mummy was just bandages from head to toe


You see there were no costumes to buy or hire
So, for example, to look just like a vampire
We used a pencil sharpener to sharpen our teeth
Then, for the blood effect, we stuck chillies underneath

When my sister chose to be a werewolf, dad dressed her
By taking granny's coat and removing the fur
Which he super glued to her skin, to come off there's no way
She was still a bit furry come Thanksgiving Day

Being a realistic witch was no trouble at all
Dad gave me a broomstick, and pushed me off a wall
My brother wanted to be a spider so dad, on a whim
Gently placed him on the floor, and stamped on him

My sister, as a pumpkin, had a look to admire
'Till dad lit the candle and her hair caught on fire
To be a bat that hangs upside down in the dark
My feet were nailed to the ceiling, you can still see the mark

My baby sister wanted to be a skeleton, very thin
So dad removed all her clothes, then removed all her skin
And I bet if we told this to the kids of today
"You're joshing me" is what they'd say

But it's true
Would I lie to you?

2011 Halloween Costumes Poems

This 2011 Halloween Costumes Poems web page brings you a long and short poem about outfits that are worn in modern day hallowe'en celebrations that just weren't available or affordable in your parent's youth

Ghoulies and ghosties come out tonight
It's the night of the year to give folk a fright
So dress in all your frightening gear
To make everyone scream and run off in fear
