Candystorm Rising

In the shadow of a peppermint moon

A whisper crawled from the frozen dune

Built of laughter and children's delight

Now reborn in the dead of night

Buttons black and coal for soul

Carrot nose, but none too whole

He rose from ice, cursed by cheer

Dragging sludge and holiday fear!

Frostbitten fury, cold and mean

Sweater kids begin to scream

Deck the halls, he's breaking through

With sleigh bells soaked in shadowed blue

MERRY! DOOMSDAY! LET IT SNOW

HOLLY! HORROR! OFF WE GO

"Just a tale!" the grown-ups say

While he lurches down the sleigh-bell way

Frost on windows, breath in air

But evil's face has frosty glare

But the children knew, they always do

With candy canes and sleds they flew

A shield of cocoa, mistletoe rain

Their sugar-fueled battle began to gain

BOTTLES OF EGGNOG SMASHED LIKE GLASS

The zombie flailed-but would not pass

BACK, BACK, you cursed cold

We are the young, fierce and bold

Flee to your cave, up high and steep

Where holiday horror dares not creep

Candystorm rising! Lights ignite

Together we banish frostbite's blight

Now peace returns to jingle streets

With frosted smiles and cocoa treats

Though frost may crawl another year

We'll be ready, never fear

So hang the lights, the stars above

In fire and frost, we still find love
