Pumkin, laughed its head off
I carved it far to early Bro
with gnashing teeth
and wrinkled brow
with evil smile for light relief
So each night at 5 o`clock
lit 2 Tea light candles
to enhance its mock
the glow behind its mandible
It radiates a chilling warmth
was it the mask of humours demeanor?
that chortled back and forth
was that a depicted, hyena?
Looking from a different angle
a jackass seem to now appear
its teethy rows, yellow and mangled
to hear it bray would make it clear
perhaps a shape shifting joker
a baboon with a grinning smile
was that a creation of Bram Stoker?
sucked, the mind Infantile
It morphed into a ginger cat
seemed to bring a screeching chior
lead the ring, into the nights grey mat
to wake the world as they retired
The crescendo of the caterwaul
pumkin rocked to much and so did fall
with gnashing teeth
and wrinkled brow
with evil smile for light relief
So each night at 5 o`clock
lit 2 Tea light candles
to enhance its mock
the glow behind its mandible
It radiates a chilling warmth
was it the mask of humours demeanor?

to wake the world as they retired

Bravo, Slip! This is very well executed!
Take care of your adverbs!
I carved it far to early Bro
to much should be
to should be too*
“To” is frequently used as a preposition that indicates the direction of movement (e.g., “to enhance its mock”) or as part of an infinitive verb (e.g., “I want to read”). “Too” is an adverb that means “very” or “also” (e.g., “I carved it far too early, Bro”).
