a strange cast of characters congregate in a Rondeau poem
The harvest moon casts eerie glow
on frosty pumpkin patch below,
where Elvis croons a witchy tune,
while scarecrow frightens ghost platoon
with ghastly scene from Mister Poe.

The zombie hoedown starts to go
allemande left and do-si-do,
as vampires and werewolves commune
with harvest moon.

They're caught on YouTube video
when revelry and spirits flow
down at the Apple Cart Saloon,
where Tinker Bell and Daniel Boone
are howling hearty "Hi-de-ho!"
at harvest moon.
