This year for Halloween

I plan to be a wicked queen.

I am in the mood

To be quite mean.

Psst, come a little closer,

Lend me your ear.

Don't tremble,

Have no fear.

Listen carefully

To my scheme.

My teeth will be

The greenest green

You've ever seen.

I will have 

The longest nose,

Longer than Pinocchio's.

The beauty spot 

Upon my face

Will ensure 

There is no trace

Of my ugly wart,

The eruptible sort.

I plan to wear

My shiniest hose

And now . . .

About my hair,

The spiky kind

If you don't mind.

The bangs I'll pat

With olive oil

Dipped in foil.

My skin will be 

The whitest white.

I will look

Such a sight.

Even Frankenstein

Will get a fright

When he sees me,

The most wicked queen

A queen could be.

I won't take my feline;

She's been drinking pee wine.

The gremlins; they

Will all go running

When they see

That I'm coming.

I'll snatch 

Their treats,

Make them scream,

Scare them

Off their feet,

Knock them down.

They'll remember me

All over town

And when there's talk

Of the wicked queen

I'll be nowhere

To be seen.
