Halloween Poems & Lyrics

Children of the Corn,
or The Curse of the Candy Corn 

M Ryan Taylor

Zeke found a bag of candy corn
up by Ms Strangle’s place.

"Ms Strangle has 3 dozen cats
who guard her house from mice and rats."
"Her windows look down on our street."
"The paint is pealed, but the grass is trimmed neat."

Orange and white and yellow,
the candy corn smelled sweet.

"Don’t touch that candy corn; I think
it might’ve been dipped in poison ink!
You never should eat any candy you find.
My mum says you’ll die or go out of your mind!"

Karen was always listening
to some grown up or teacher. Ha!

"Three corn left," said Ryan.
"One for each," said Bryan,
"These must be special," said Zeke,
"They’ve a different color streak."

Green and black and purple,
We ate the last candy corn.

"Delicious!" "Superb!" "What a taste!"
They said as their thoughts were erased.
"Hello," said Ms Strangle, "come into my flat,
my monster, my skeleton, my vampire bat."

That is how Ryan, Bryan and Zeke,
lost their families and became
the Children of the Corn.
