I Shall (Not) Survive!
Stayin' Dead
Dance to the Muzak
Really Last Dance
Get Down Tonight (and Stay There)

Day After Halloween
by Shel Silverstein
Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.
It's a Halloween sale:
A nickel a pail
For skeletons, spirits and haunts.
Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
More than most anyone wants.
Will you pay for a shock,
'Cause we're quite overstocked
On skeletons, spirits and haunts.
Skeletons, spirits, and haunts here.
Skeletons, spirits and haunts,
Skeletons, spirits and haunts.

Have a Greeny Halloweeny
Frankenstein's green.
Dracula's blue.
Can ghosts be white
If you see them clear through?
Most jack o' lanterns
Are first pumpkins orange.
As pump-lets they're green,
Then develop some more tinge.
Black owls are black.
So are black bats.
But witches on broomsticks
Want black balanced cats.
Spiders are green
And yellow and brown.
The black and bright red one's
One of great renown.
Candy corn's orange
And yellow and white
And tastes pretty awful
'Til Halloween night.
Witches display
In a whole range of hues.
Being bewtitching
Each witch gets to choose.
Skeleton bones:
Shades of gray, yellow, white.
Some even show as
Glow-in-the-dark-night.
This Halloween bracelet
Was made multi-color
Because if it weren't
It would be multi-duller.
Dracula's blue.

Haunted High School Reunion
Back the old days, at Haunted High School, Frankie and Wanda were an item.
(That's Wanda on the right, wearing the black hat. Isn't her green nose divine? Frankie always thought so. He never really got over her.)
And that's Frankie. True blue. He stopped wearing his retainer as soon as he moved out of his parents' house.
Jack was always the class clown and Boo was his faithful sidekick. The two of them never really grew up.
Vin was the one who always wanted to play in a band...
... and was never seen without his glow-in-the-dark drumsticks.
He had a couple of hits and then was never heard from again. Rumor has it he works at a Jack in the Coffin out in the valley. But he still carries his glow-in-the-darks everywhere he goes.
And everyone remembers Molly, who was going to write great whoo-done-its...
She published a couple with a vanity press. Now she's got a new ebook out. It's available on Kindle, though Molly gets less for each sale.
Then there was Fritz, who napped through all his classes, but was always first in line in the cafeteris on fish sticks day...
...and Bertie (on the right), who became a vegan long before it was fashionable.
They all found each other on FaceBoo a while back, and started emailing back and forth. They decided they'd hold a reunion (though they prefer not to state in which yeat they graduated.)
Organizing the reunion was a nightmare. Finally Agatha arranged transportation, as they were all over the country. She runs a limo broom service.
Bert handled security. He used to work for the Scarecrow PD, but now that he's older, he's a security guard at a retirement pumpkin patch.
Barry did all the floral arrangements. He wanted everything to look festive, just as it had at their prom years earlier. There were corsages for all the females, boutonnieres for the gentlemen, and dried up petals for the departed.
It was a spectacular event. Everyone showed up. Even the unpopular pumpkin everyone used to make fun of. They partied deep into the night... and the next night... and the next. In fact, they're still celebrating. It helps to be un-dead. They've decided to do this every year, around this time. They'll have to head home eventually, to prepare for Halloween, but for now, they're all here. So enjoy.
Skippy was in charge of souvenir bracelets, but she got busy dancing and only made one, so here it is.

Skull Dancing
"Twas midnight in the moonlight
When the skulls began their dancing,
Doing Mambos, Tangos, Waltzes
And some eye-to-eye romancing.
They tried pirouettes and pliés,
Arabesques and battement
Rising up above the tombstones
Trying dance steps lentement.
They danced the Twist and Bunny Hop,
The Frug and the Watusi,
The Hully Gully and the Swim,
Until their joints got loose-y.
They ended with some Moonwalking
And danced the Ham and Eggs
But then they stopped because it would
Be easier with legs.
Dance here for skulls.
