Poetic Parody

Ok guys, so recently I have become interested in parodies. Parodies of anything. I have been surfing the web looking at parodies. Parodies are comical renditions of otherwise serious subjects. A famous music parody artist is Weird Al Yankovic. He has taken famous songs and made parodies of them. An example of one of his songs is when he made "Canadian Idiot", a parody of Green Day's famous "American Idiot"

While surfing the web, I came across things to make parodies of and one of the easy things I saw was poem parodies. So I took one of the only poems I know of and made a parody. The following is a parody of the poem Twas' the night of Christmas that I just wrote.

Twas the night of Halloween

Twas the night of Halloween, when all through the neighborhood
All creatures were stirring, anyone could
Bags were full, hanging from the shoulder
As the night got colder
Children ran from door to door
They kept wanting more and more

Father dressed as a vampire
While Mother dressed as an umpire
Sis was cooking on the fryer
She was going out with Trent Meyer
They were cooking a Halloween feast
Both dressed as Beauty and the Beast

Along came witches through the night sky
At the party they were starting to eat pumpkin pie
The witches came on their broom
Along with cats that needed a groom

Pumpkins flew from cannons afar
A couples hits and they destroyed the bar
Our whole city was under attack
We had no choice, we had to fight back

Good legendary characters came to fight
The battle raged on all through the night
Goblin and Ghouls fought jolly Santa Claus on a roof
But his reindeer kicked them with a mighty hoof
The Easter bunny laid stink bombs
They exploded in a big array like pom-poms

Dozens were lost in this great battle
But the Devil said “Let’s skedaddle!”
Good has triumphed over evil
Our leader was Knievel
At sunrise, at last we were ready to eat
Because evil was finally beat
