BEWARE, BEWARE THE CURSE OF THE PUMPKIN MAN
Beware, Beware the curse of the Pumpkin Man, not quite man, not quite pumpkin, but a Demonic hybrid -all parts monster.
Out in the fields, he lived in a dark patch, where he would catch all the trespassers, for this demon monster is quite the harasser.
Looking to tell its tale to all the ears that happened to be near. Young, old, man or woman, children too.
To him it made no difference; a soul is a soul. For the Pumpkin Man preys on those who listen to his take.
Always searching for a face to replace the hollow vegetable that is its visage. Never has anyone survived the curse of the Pumpkin Man.
He’ll suck the eyes out of their sockets, rip the tongues out of theirs mouths, and chew the nose off of your face.
But never the ears of those ignorant listeners. To him it’s see no evil, speak no evil , smell no evil. But definitely , you must listen to evil!
Many legends share the name, but none play the game. Where the Pumpkin Man , not quite man, not quite pumpkin creates a space in his hollow body,
One that smells like coal, always ready to take your soul. Orange, tall, and slender, but bigger than size this Pumpkin Man is very smart;
Looking for multiple ways to break your heart as it tells its tale. Beware, beware the curse, beware, beware, the pumpkin man, not quite man, not quite pumpkin, but all sorts of evil. Many like him, but none are equal. Which begs the question? Have you heard of this Pumpkin Man before?
Of course you haven’t, for all who hear this tale, only hear it when they’re near it. With this final message,
I must confess that I am but another soul, welcoming you to join my family of lost souls—trapped forever inside the Pumpkin Man.
Beware, Beware the curse of the Pumpkin Man, not quite man, not quite pumpkin, but now, part you!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
