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 โrโ treatโ
The Seven Sins from Hell.
ย
ย
Sloth rose up, he groaned, then whined, โDo we have to go?
Itโs cozy here, thereโs ice cold beer,
and Gluttony moves too slow.โ
ย
The glutton licked his lips and spokeโhis mouth stuffed full of food,
โIโll have you know I want to go;
that candy cornโs sooooooooooo good!โ
ย
โThe both of you can stay right here, that just means more for us.
Yum, Reese cups and M&Msโฆโ
Quick out the door ran Lust.
ย
โOh , no you donโt!โ Greed screamed at Lust, โIโm cominโ with you too.โ
She bragged sheโd grab the biggest bag,
(itโs what the greedy do.)
ย
โThey're all much scarier than I,โ Envy screamed, stomping her feet.
โI 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, โStay here, youโre dead,โ
he fumed with indignation.
ย
Itโs 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 Beggarโs Night.
