Coffin part 2: The Halloween Party
We had a Halloween party that year since we had our new Everlasting Memories coffin so Jenny and I did what we usually did. We wrote a story to have a party around.
The Lovely PRIM ROSE wanted to marry,
But of all men in town she was scared and wary.
For the most part Prim stayed inside,
With her menagerie of animals all dead and dried.
For her job was the DARK ART OF TAXIDERMY,
And she sculpted dead animals before they became wormy.
“Dermy” is skin and “taxi” to move around
And Prim was well known for her trophies in town.
—
She only left her house to pick up supplies,
And when she went into town, she avoided men’s eyes.
Prim yearned for someone to have and to hold
Someone to love and with whom to grow old,
But her fears kept her in-satiated
And her only love was her animals, reanimated.
—
To Prim Rose’s town came a CARNIVAL each year
But she never attended for she was filled with that fear.
She’d heard it was festive, she’d heard it was gay,
with rides and clowns and games to play.
She’d heard there were all manner of FREAKS running the show,
And she figured no one would notice her, so why not go.
—
Once inside, Prim Rose found a fabulous crowd,
There were BUNNY GIRLS, GIANTS and eccentrics proud.
With the SWORD SWALLOWING RAVEN TWINS and GATOR BOY she found new friends.
And with the Carnies and Geeks that day she’d spend.
She told them all of her animal reanimation
And MONKEY BABY felt a tickling sensation.
And for the first time ever Prim danced the night away,
so she returned again early the following day.
—
This time she festooned herself with glorious feathers
With long flowing silk and her finest leathers.
Then, with her new friends and the Ferris wheel spinning,
a Handsome Man caught her eye with his white smile grinning.
He was dashing and debonair
With a well cut jaw and jet black hair
And his name was the STUPENDOUS BARKER SINCLAIR!
He took Prim by her nervous hand
And he held her close as they danced to the band.
And he kissed her soft upon her lips
And he wrapped his arm around her hips
It was then that Barker Sinclair declared his love
to the Carnies and freaks and to GOD above.
For he declared Prim Rose was his only intended,
And that they were to marry in a ceremony most splendid.
And FINALLY PRIM had a wonderful day
With one kiss, HE melted all her FEAR away.
That night Prim found herself ravished and raptured,
And her lonesome heart rejoiced at being captured.
—
On the last day of the carnival they were to marry
But as Prim made her way to Sinclair, she stopped to tarry
For a Fortune Teller beckoned to her on the Midway,
To stop and hear what she had to say.

The MYSTICAL MISS FORTUNE SAID
I see for your future you have come to me
to know how blissful your married life will be.
Most beautiful girl, so eager and chaste,
In your bridal gown and white veil on your face,
With your virginal flowers in your hair,
To you my sweet, I say,
BEWARE!
For the one you will wed is the King of Sin
And his sword is swallowed by the Raven Twins.
He’s hidden Eggs with the Bunny Girl
And even, with Monkey Baby, he’s taken a twirl.
Poor Darling, be not despondent for hope never ends,
As long as you are willing to take your REVENGE!
—
Prim snuck up to Barker Sinclair’s dust covered trailer
Only to see him with the Raven Twins inside betray her!
But Prim Rose no longer knew any FEAR for Baker Sinclair had kissed it all away,
And she vowed to pay him back in kind so that he’d rue that day.
—
The preacher said life was only GOD’s creation
But PRIM ROSE preferred REANIMATION.
She found her lover and set to work,
To disembowel the fucking jerk.
And she deftly removed Sinclair’s CHEATING HEART
So it kept beating while she tore him apart.
She eviscerated, scraped and tanned his hide, then she kissed her lover.
She stretched his skin and gave him glass eyes so he’d never see another.
She then captured the RAVEN TWINS and sewed them into one….
by their backs so that they would not become undone,
and they writhed in pain as she filled their hollow
to never more a SWORD TO SWALLOW.
Forthwith did PRIM ROSE LOSE HER MIND
And dispatch all SINCLAIR’S GIRLFRIENDS in kind.
So many impaled,
and how MONKEY BABY WAILED.
The BUNNY GIRL SKINNED
With FORMALDEHYDE SWIMMED.
And from Prim’s LAB poured rivers of BLOOD
Flowing like a warm crimson flood.
—
Some will say Prim Rose overreacted because she didn’t wed,
But who is a better groom than one who is stuffed and dead?
—
Death to each brings peace in the end
And to Prim, DEATH was the best of friends.
For we all enjoy that sweet stinking embrace in the tomb of our choosing,
When it is time for that eventual snoozing.
Regardless of what heights to which we aspire,
Regardless of the comfort into which we retire,
Everyone, each to their own, will,
without a doubt, expire.
—
Epilogue
Alas!
Poor Prim Rose, the early flower,
Eventually could not live with her GODLIKE POWER
And the days of restive bliss with STUFFED SINCLAIR
And with the SIAMESE TWINS and their RAVEN HAIR,
eventually exacted psychological retribution,
And she disengaged her head in a SUICIDE solution.
—
So, herein ends your path,
from the upstairs mystery of Prim’s Blood Bath.
No one made a trophy of our sweet Prim Rose,
And where she went, no one knows.
She may still wander here and I sometimes believe that’s true
Perhaps she’s looking to wed someone like you.
But tonight, enjoy life, because from what you’ve seen……
You never know if this will be your last HALLOWEEN
some photos the glorious Lady Bee.
