My World Of Hopes, Dreams, Fantasies

Halloween Writing Challenge Prompt 12 Haunted Elevator

Video from Saturday Night Live about a haunted elevator. We are to write about a short story or poem about it.

A haunted elevator. Oh all the stops.
I just saw my head on a platter.
Next comes an old man named Pops.
I am getting dizzy. This does matter.

Jack Pumpkins comes in on our next stop.
Duded up in a pumpkin jacket with skeletons.
This haunted joy ride is one big stupid flop!
I am in dire straits. Bring out the sultans.

Jack Pumpkins won't shut up. I threw a pumpkin
at him. He finally shut up. It's about time.
I have a headache. I need a drink of slow gin.
I can't believe this poem actually rhymes!

My ride on the haunted elevator comes to an end.
I get off and I feel out of sorts. What a ride.
My car is just around the other side of the bend.
Here comes a zombie. I get in my car and hide.

I am home now and pass out candy to kids
all dressed up like goblins, witches and spooks.
Jack Pumpkins shows up. He would never get any bids.
A zombie gets him. Good. I am free of that kook!
