The Human Jack O' Lantern

I live in darkness, in the shadows at night
My thoughts and actions lawless, in my garden of delight
I rearrange the human face, a forbidden desire
Watch my plan unravel, watch your time expire

Penetrate your skin so deeply
Watch your blood gush a brilliant red
A tattoo that will last forever
When I'm finished, you'll probably be dead

Carve a happy smile into your face
Gouge out your eyes, hack off your nose
Flesh is exposed, what a delightful taste

I'm changing the looks of you
Once sad, now so jolly
You're the human Jack O' Lantern
I'm the modern day Svengali

The next time you decide to carve a pumpkin
That may not be the brightest idea
Stop hacking up these wonderful fruits
Or I will cut out your nose, mouth & ears
