The Scariest Halloween Costume
by Miki Saxon
All my life I’ve written rhymes for certain days and special events or people. Last Halloween I wrote Scary Times Require Rhymes for Leadership Turn and A Halloween Economy at MAPping Company Success.
I’m always surprised when I go back, read one and it doesn’t make me run screaming from the screen.
So, here is Halloween 2009 for your reading pleasure. I hope you enjoy it, because I had a lot of fun writing it.
Are you attending a party tonight
wearing a costume that inspires fright?
Halloween’s a night for spooks,
for witches, demons and other kooks;
vampires, werewolves, serial killers and more—
all those types who are drenched in gore.
But if you really want to inspire fear
you can do it best with much simpler gear.
All you need is a designer suite, well-styled hair,
a fancy watch and executive chair.
The back story’s simple, you just have to choose
which character best fits your particular ruse.
Hedge fund manager, Wall Street or insurance exec
depends on whose world you are planning to wreck.
Have fun tonight and stay safe!
