Flashy! a Rhyme Obscene on Halloween

Linda Ann Nickerson

The funniest thing I've ever seen
Appeared one dreary Halloween.
My friends and I had gone uptown
Not long after the sun went down.

The streets were full of costumed crowds;
They formed a multi-colored cloud.
We stopped there at a traffic light
And caught a most outrageous sight.

For suddenly, a man jumped out
And tossed his trench coat all about.
Then what we saw, to our surprise,
Was burned forever in our eyes.

He stood determined in our path
And then this porno psychopath
Displayed his own equator zone,
With helium testosterone.

For dangling there, outside his jeans,
Were three balloons: red blue and green.
We roared with laughter till we cried,
Until he finally stepped aside.

As we drove off, we watched him there,
Continuing to over-share,
Displaying body parts store-bought
To cover up what he had not.

    Wow!
    Glad my grand children don't live in your neighborhood..... actually, I might even be glad I don't live there either.
    Seriously, though - well written and fun!
    Happy Halloween.
