A Most Sinful Halloween

A Most Sinful Halloween

Let me spin you a yarn my dear Grandpa told to me,
that happened many years ago
one frightful Halloween.

ย 
Their wickedness is world renowned; we know them all too well,
they wanted to go trick โ€˜rโ€™ treatโ€”
The Seven Sins from Hell.

ย 
ย 
Sloth rose up, he groaned, then whined, โ€œDo we have to go?
Itโ€™s cozy here, thereโ€™s ice cold beer,
and Gluttony moves too slow.โ€

ย 
The glutton licked his lips and spokeโ€“his mouth stuffed full of food,
โ€œIโ€™ll have you know I want to go;
that candy cornโ€™s sooooooooooo good!โ€

ย 
โ€œThe both of you can stay right here, that just means more for us.
Yum, Reese cups and M&Msโ€ฆโ€
Quick out the door ran Lust.

ย 
โ€œOh , no you donโ€™t!โ€ Greed screamed at Lust, โ€œIโ€™m cominโ€™ with you too.โ€
She bragged sheโ€™d grab the biggest bag,
(itโ€™s what the greedy do.)

ย 
โ€œThey're all much scarier than I,โ€ Envy screamed, stomping her feet.
โ€œI hate them all, I hope they fallโ€”
lie bleeding in the street!โ€

ย 
Wrath bared his fangs, angry with anticipation.
His eyes glowed red, โ€œStay here, youโ€™re dead,โ€
he fumed with indignation.

ย 
Itโ€™s been said the tiny town was never quite the same.
In full moonlight on Witches' Night
they spread their sinful shame.

ย 
Goblins, monsters, witches too, were frightened by the sight
ย the year the Seven Deadly Sins
came out on Beggarโ€™s Night.

My heart's been acting up, Tara.
