Take another poem and mangle it into your own image:

Mine is a mangle of Bobby's girl's poem

From hell, straight to softball, a breeze on creaking board
demons and ghosts and a pirate's hoard
come for me, unexplained and with a shreik
(It's not even October until next week)

Maybe an unexplained rustle, a thump in the well
come to me tonight and maybe, who can tell?
Cat chases ghosties while dogs scare demons
the moon is hanging, things aren't as they're seemin'

"Trick or treat," the miniature goblins' cry
harbinger of who will live and who will die.
October nights, the cold tells tabby "Scat!"
Perhaps I might just turn into a bat!

Pick a poem and mangle, or even mangle this one!
Reva, what a great retelling. I am almost ready to grab my sword!
Wow BG your mangle was better than your original AND better than my mangle (no surprise there!)

But I may be biased because my name is in it a lot. LOL Thanks!
 
There is a well known fact that set me free
the world I control is the world I want to see
to those who face the sun, they are blinded by the light
the world is fun to those who face the night.
An perfect world is the secret one of the statesmen,
while you pigs see but another pen.
If you want a world that's a just reward
don't live by the handshake, live by the sword.


I mangled your poem for the cheesy megalomaniacs in all those superhero movies. :) At least, I think that is how you mangle a poem?
 
You are a Genius!

There was pirate's hoard under a creaking board
And Hiram was wanting it all
But BG called the dogs out
But they got ol' Hiram's softball
There was a rustle and thump and a shriek and a hunk
Of ol' Hiram in the dog's mouth
And the cats chased the bats and the bats chased the rat
And Hiram was last seen headin south
But that's how it goes when Bobby's Girl knows
She got somebody funny to tease
Who won't take offense and then p**p his pants
Then act like he's better than me's
But hand it all back just as hacked and as stacked
As I handed it back with these
Words, that is. And I'm finished now cause it's bedtime
And I gotta get me some z's.

You be genius but I ain't too far behind LOL. That was a blast! TY
