Halloween Revenge

by jusylee72

My Father and my brother both like to make me scream
They love to scare both Mom and me on every Halloween
They jump out of the closet. They hide behind the door.
They put fake rats in cupboards and blood stains on the floor.

Mom and I decided we had to make a plan.
We found a mask so ugly it would surely scare a man
We put it on a volleyball to make the head look real
We wanted them to understand how awful it could feel

We took old clothes to make a body covered in fake blood.
We hung it on the shower head, it dangled from above.
We shut the curtain carefully to hide the danger there.
We started planning more to make sure that they were scared.

Every year we decorate our home for Halloween.
With fake gravestones and pumpkins we can make a spooky scene.
Mom sent Dad and brother John outside to dig small graves.
To place the tombstones on the graves to scare children away.

Luckily the sky turned black with thunder and with rain.
They quickly ran inside and started to complain.
Both of them were soaking wet and covered up in mud
Mom told them to leave their clothes and get into the tub.

John stripped down to underwear then hurried up the stairs
He truly had no idea what would be waiting there.
I hid the camera from his view as he stepped inside
It was just a minute before I heard his cries.

Dad ran quickly up the stairs not knowing what he'd find.
I caught a picture of my brother naked from behind.
He tried to tell my father not to go inside
But Daddy was protective, he would not be denied.

He grabbed the plunger by the wall and struck our halloween man
He kept it up and didn't stop until he could not stand
then slowly Dad began to laugh when he realized
There really was no stranger. It was just "Surprise!"

We laugh about it to this day and always tell the story
It was such a special one, a tale in all it's glory.
So now I've told the story of this Halloween Revenge
I'm Happy it is over now so time to say "THE END".
