Poetry: Halloween costumes

by Dylan Gilman

Created on: October 06, 2009

Every year
I fail to impress
Last year I showed up
with a beard and a dress

This year will be different
no clown for me
no vampire or ghoul
I have something better
Something really cool

I arrive at the party
my look is a hit
photos and poses
my shiny outfit

a group of Jedi
a pretend fight
We battle it out
through out the night

"I am lord Vader"
I say really loud
hoping to impress
the gathering crowd

just then I see her
the girl of my dreams
It is the princess
walking towards me it seems

She walks up
and folds her arms
I do my best
to turn on the charms

"I may be a villain
but I know one thing.
I love you my dear,
would you wear my ring?"

the crowd starts laughing
She turns bright red
just then I get
smacked upside the head

Ya know something?
I knew it was a twist
but there is one thing
I have clearly missed

It was the third film.
