Halloween would not be complete without a tribute to the folks on Belsize Drive and their annual creepy composition. The gurus of ghastly rhyme have really stuck it to us with this year’s spooky poetic crime!
Don’t Mess with Mother Nature!
In an apple orchard darkness dwells
Mother Nature has secret spells.
An evil force in nature’s guise
Keeps children stuck under starless skies.
Their crime was not a horrid one
What child doesn’t spit out their gum?
But huck it onto Earth’s embrace
And you have tarnished sacred space.
A scolding comes with the first offence,
Her second warning is quite intense,
But dare you get to number three,
she’ll stick you to an apple tree!
And shouts for help cannot be heard.
Through bubble gum your cries are blurred,
So unless you want to end up stuck
Don’t spit that gum and press your luck!
