back door boogeyman

the light
by the back door
                     is on
so when the monsters come
we'll all be the wiser.
we'll see them shamble, stumble, grumble
to the porch
with wicked smiles
and deformed limbs
scream, scream, screaming,
"where, o! where is all the meat?"
scream, scream, screaming,
"what's a monster like me
when there's nothing left to eat?"
