You may not have heard that the fearsome Grim Reaper
Has one distant cousin who’s more of a sleeper,
But she isn’t cursed (as her rep would suggest)
To be ushering souls to their eternal rest.
No, her singular talent is rather amusing—
That is, if you don’t mind spontaneous snoozing.
She sneaks up behind you and gives you a tap,
And you fall into some kind of transient nap.

..

Now, while this might not seem major cause for complaint,
It is quite inconvenient to drop in a faint,
And since she’s the black sheep of the family Grim,
She’s determined that she’ll steal the spotlight from Him.
For some time she’s believed she’s got something to prove,
And it’s on Halloween that she’s planning her move,
So please stay on alert and don’t dare to impugn her,
Or you might be visited by the Grim Swooner.

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃
