    Default Jack of the Lantern – 05-04-2011,03:17 PM


    Just a little something to hopefully get you all more in the mood. I got the idea for this one while driving up to get pizza for dinner.

    Jack of the Lantern BY:kprimm

    Old Jack thought he'd trick the Devil
    And he tricked him well
    Jack was not allowed in Heaven
    And now was barred from Hell

    Jack was given one hot coal
    And sent upon his way
    At night you'll see his turnip glow
    Until this very day

    Roam O' Jack O' lantern
    Roam forever through the night
    All alone you roam the Earth
    With just your glowing light

    He roams the Earth at night
    Without A place to call his own
    A lonely shade with glowing gourd
    Forever cursed to roam

    There is no final rest for Jack
    With his turnip light of shame
    The Jack O' Lantern that you lite
    That's how it got it's name

    Roam O' Jack O' lantern
    Roam forever through the night
    All alone you roam the Earth
    With just your glowing light
    EVERY DAY TO ME IS HALLOWEEN!

    I've heard a number of tellings of this story and I believe this may be the best. Phenomenal job!
