Nigtmare before Christmas
|
 |
It was late one fall in Haloweenland |
 |
Against the moon a skeleton sat,
Jack Skellington was his name. |
 |
Then out from the grave came a spectral mist.
It was Jack's dog, Zero. |
 |
All that night and through the next day,
Jack wandered and walked. He was filled with dismay. |
 |
...three massive doorways, carved in wood. |
 |
Jack didn't know it, but he'd fallen down |
 |
In the middle of a place called Christmas Town! |
 |
Back in Haloween a group of Jack's peers
Stared in amazement at his Christmas souvenirs. |
 |
For the next few days, while it lightninged and thundered,
Jack sat alone and obsessively wondered. |
 |
In Christmas Town, Santa was making some toys
When through the din he heard a soft noise |
 |
In Halloween everyone gathered once more,
For they'd never seen a Santa before. |
 |
And though Jack and his friends thought they'd do a good job,
Their idea of Christmas was still quite macabre. |
 |
They were packed up and ready on Christmas Eve day. |
 |
When Jack hitched his reindeer to his sleek coffin sleigh |
 |
|
 |
The stockings, all hung by the chimney with care,
When opened that morning would cause quite a scare! |
 |
He visited the house of Susie and Dave;
They got a Gumby and Pokey from the grave. |
 |
A monstruous train with tentacle tracks,
a baby doll possesed by a demon. |
 |
Then amidst the barrage of artillery fire,
Jack urged Zero to go higher and higher. |
 |
Jack pulled himself up on a large stone cross,
And from there he reviewed his incredible loss. |
 |
"My dear Jack," said Santa, "I applaud your intent.
I know wreaking such havoc was not what you meant." |
 |
And then, like a dream,
Santa brought Christmas to the land of Halloween. |
