Man, I love Hallowe'en time.
In the basement on the shelves
A jaw-dropping collection
Of an artist of a sort
With strong local connections.
Soccer coach and school teacher
The brother of a cop he--
Still is able in spare time
To do his cas'al hobby.
Redheads, blonds, brunettes and all
With chins of various size
Are displayed there artfully
Kept concealed from public eyes.
Jars with lids, formaldahyde
Two tools of his media
And the third--at least today--
Went by the name of Celia
Her bright eyes and glowing skin
Preserved here in his basement
Along with her light brown hair
Inside this glass encasement
Afternoons this way he spends
But only on the weekends
Back to school and soccer field
Each time his Sunday sleep ends
So be wary, moms and dads
If after school he offers
"Extra help with math homework"
To stupid sons and daughters.
