JNCullen Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 T'was the eve before Halloween The sky started to rumble like I've never seen The lights in the Greenleaf Warehouse began to flicker And in the corner you could hear a ghostly snicker Mini Man creeped in to look around And from a box he heard a strange sound To his amazement a Haunted House began to assemble A cold chill in the air made him tremble As the door opened it was full of ghouls and ghosts And a witch stood there as the host A spell was cast for Mini Man to come in That is when the nightmare begin No matter how much he began to scream and shout There was no way out Mini Man was overwhelmed with fear For he knew the end was near All of a sudden he popped awake Relieved that it was all a fake Looking in the mirror, Mini Man could see the slime on his face gleaming Perhaps I wasn't dreaming Build the Haunted House if you dare For Mini Man has issued a warning Builder Beware!

LPCullen Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I told Jimmy he had to look at the Halloween forum format, and that he needed to start posting more in the forum, so he wrote the above poem. He loved the Halloween look of the forum, and so that was his contribution, LOL! I did type it in for him, since if he had done it himself you wouldn't have seen it until New Year's ....

Charlene Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What a hoot!

Mini Man Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Mini Man fears nothing (except other men who write poems about him)! I'm just joking Jimmy! It's a kick in the pants! I just sent a link to the folk around Greenleaf that actually met Jimmy (that's right, Linda and Jimmy have met most of us in person). I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it too. Thanks Jimmy!
