The Prose Masquerade Think about what monster or creature you would most enjoy emulating if you were forced to become it for the rest of your life. (You can't say a businessman is a monster and take the easy route out). Within the realms of ghouls, ghosts, vampires, centaurs, etc., pick your poison, and craft something that shows how you would cope at your worst, your best, in your newfound existence of monstrosity. Let the words run. The winner gets a trick or treat box from me.

The Ghost is Toast

The ghost wafted into the monster bash

The monster said, “This ghost is toast!”

The witches said, “He’ll be part of our stew!”

The ghost disappeared into mist so blue.

The monster’s eyes saw an eerie sight

and began monster mash in the night.

Twirling around like mashed potatoes,

trying to trap the ghost in his toes.

Ghost comrades floated in drizzled haze

to vampire feast to rescue friend from maze.

The monster rose from his slab in a flash

and continued to do the monster mash.

The witches and monster all tried

to grab ghost by his britches wide,

because all his body was see-through,

Dracula rose out of his coffin as crew.

Igor rattled in, dragging his chains -

they all rushed in to help him maintain

the monster capturing the ghost

at party where monster was host.

They latched on to his suspenders

figured he was invisibly slender

and popped him in to the toaster

to make the ghost into toast.

The toaster popped up with most

of what they imagined was vaporous ghost

they spread him with nutty peanut butter

danced the monster mash as they muttered.

The wad of peanut butter did zoom

floated all around the room.

But the diaphanous ghost

who was made into toast

was nowhere to be seen

although they could see his jeans

as party goers finished their bash

doing the monster mash!
