Creepy Clown Halloween<\/p>\n
One evening I was looking for some food.
\nI had a drink of wine to soften the mood.
\nThe wife was gone and I was settling down.
\nWhen I looked up and saw a scary clown.
\nHe was standing outside on the porch.
\nHis eyes were glowing like a torch.
\nHe scared the holy hell out of me.
\nThen, he waved, while looking at me.
\nI grabbed a bat and opened the door.
\n\u201cTrick or treat.\u201d His bag was on the floor.
\nIt was Halloween. I had forgotten.
\nSomething in my pants smelled rotten.
\nMy wife left a bowl of candy nearby.
\nI gave him a handful and said goodbye.
\nSoon, more kids were showing up.
\nI gave out candy like in a rut.
\nThen, it was quiet for awhile.
\nI looked out the window with a smile.
\nThen, I saw the scary clown again.
\nHe was across the street, looking grim.
\nHe was staring at my house.
\nHe wasn\u2019t a kid. The rotten louse.
\nI wondered what he was up to.
\nSome kids came by and he yelled \u2018Boo.\u201d
\nThe kids took off running like hell.
\nThe clown was laughing, I could tell.
\nThen he turned and stared some more.
\nI decided to lock the door.
\n2 hours later, he was still there.
\nI got my gun. He had better beware.
\nHe watched me and I watched him.
\nThere was no way that he would win.
\nThen, at midnight, he just vanished.
\nI was so shocked, I cussed in Spanish.
\nWas this a creepy clown joke pulled on me?
\nMy neighbor came over and said \u201cDid you see?\u201d
\nI said yes, and I didn\u2019t understand it.
\nHe looked at me and said \u201cNo shit!\u201d
\nNext Halloween, I will watch for that clown.
\nIf I see him, I will tie him down.
\nI will not be scared like that anymore.
\nNo clowns will be knocking at my door.<\/p>\n
