Lee and the Evil Mrs. McLoon

The librarian at our school is a witch
I do believe
We haven't seen Taylor Jones
since she grabbed her by the sleeve
With powers supernatural
that's old Mrs. McLoon
she turned Evan Jones
into a hairy baboon
The principal Mr. Ned,
away from her did he scoot
When she arrived wearing peace signs
and waving eye of newt
They say Mrs. McLoon
dances in the dead of night
Her house is haunted
it is really quite a sight
She tends, combs and cuddles
a whole herd of black cats
When she opens up the windows,
out comes the black bats
The math teacher zombied out
and almost fell
Mary Alice White saw her
cast that spell
Don't go in the library
and ask for anything factual
Because like I said,
Mrs. McLoon's supernatural!
People are disappearing in this town
left and right
And it's still three weeks left
until Halloween night
Why does everyone act
like there's nothing going on?
At night you can hear the wind
make the spirits moan
She gave my mom chocolates,
I tried to intercede
Now she has her evil sights
set solidly on me!
I'm sitting in class when the teacher
says, "Hey Lee..."
"Go and find Macy,
she's in the library!"

The Animeaux

The amazing, iridescent
Animeaux
never to be caged
ever free he does go
He soars like a gull
and will never be dull
He's precocious
creates a fuss
when he catches the bus
He springs like a cat
and never gets fat
He listens like a dog
stays out of the bog
Where the willie wiley
creatures gather
He really would rather
Skate on the beach
remain out of reach
Quite a creature
he is
definitely a whiz
He moos like a cow
then takes a brisk bow
He arrives too late
but never misses a date
Being quiet
but misplacing his things
he moves about
as if made of springs
He howls like a jackal
and dreams like a bird
and of cupcakes three,
he's on the third
He does always put on
a super show
the incredible
but not edible...
Animeaux!
Happy Seussical Wednesday!
