Write me some treats Prompt (Reblog)

I used a photo of my nephew taken in Vermont for this post:

What manner of specter are you

The grave digger asked his view

I’m not ready for my ending ride

And how are you justified?

I’ve led a good life, done my best

Put many good souls here to rest

Why are you standing there

Not time to climb my final stair

No, I still have work to do

Go away, you reaper boo

Halloween is months away

Suppose I’ll see you again that day

Meanwhile I have a job that’s never done

Thanks to you, the bludgeoning one.
