The dead cat in a hat

I put all sorts of signs on my front door
Even one showing the most malicious
Of Evil Eyes
In order to keep people away
Hey, I don't like people....
Yet that did not stop some nasty being
From placing on my doorstep
A very dead black cat in an equally black hat.
Why are people so mean, I ask?
I turn off all lights on Halloween night
Can't be bothered with giving away
Loads of candy for free
Stupid tradition if you ask me
Last year I threw a few tomatoes
At some cars passing in front of my house
And honking their horns
Such inconsideration, such nastiness.
I even thought about complaining
To the mayoress
But that might be a waste of time
As I hear that she is a witch in disguise.
