Twas The Nightmare Before Kissmas, when all through the palace
All the people were scurrying, some with a small hint of malice
Coal, the prince of Christmas, all dressed in his best
Promised to the Princess of Easter yet another suitor will put this to the test
This prince of Christmas is drawn to another
The prince of Halloween has caused this blunder
With secrets and crushes and plots afoot
Will joy be brought to their holidays or shall they be covered in soot
We jumped in these pages and gave them a read
We laughed and yelled and shook at such deeds
Now the question is this, will The Nightmare Before Kissmas
Be at home on our shelves or was something amiss?
