Serial Christmas

(collab of DawnbeforeDark and Shaman)


The stockings are hung by the chimney with care
As a bearded man with razor sharp teeth,
A forked tongue and a Ginsu knife,
Appears from thin air
Depositing malevolent gifts under the tree
For the bad little girls and boys
He passes on the cookies and milk
In search for the bundles of joy
As quiet as a mouse, he glides up the stairs…

Wicked children asleep, all tucked in their beds
While dreams of devilish scum dance in their heads
He awakens the parents with a terrible growl
Their screams go unheard as their throats are devoured
He tears through layers of sinew and flesh
Then covered in crimson, he moves with a dash
Down the hall and into the children’s nest…

Gaping and snarling, he yells, "Ho, ho, ho!"
Looking down at the boy he snaps off a toe
"Why Santa, why? We love you so!"
“You've been bad this year, as you both well know!”
He looks at the girl and rips off her head
Twisting and tugging, and tearing with passion
Eating and sucking on the tiny provisions
He hangs guts and skin in holiday fashion

Over his shoulder he gives a sinister glare
And laughs as he pours gasoline
The smell of fuel permeates the air
He flicks the match quick with a fiery stare
“On Dahmer, on Bundy, on Gacy, on Manson!”
He continues his butchering from mansion to mansion
Slicing and killing, burning all to the ground
On this Serial Christmas, Santa’s slaying the town
