~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

THE TERRIFYING 10 ARE IN THE GATE
JOCKEYS SEEM NERVOUS
STEWARDS ON EDGE
AS THIS IS FAR FROM "REALITY"

EACH CONTESTANT HAS A PUMPKIN PAIL .... AND
WHOM EVER COLLECTS THE MOST TREATS -----> WINS
BUT TRICKS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION EITHER

AND AWAAAAY THEY GO
IN THE 2020 SPOOKTACULAR

OFF AND AWAY INTO THE 1st TURN ....
TO GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE WE GO
OOOOOPS, WRONG HOLIDAY

EVERYONE HAS COLLECTED SOME CANDY
AND ARE ON THE MOVE AGAIN

AS THEY CONTINUE AROUND THE TRACK
WE SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE
THE 1st TRICK OF THE NIGHT

~PTERODACTILUS~
IS SLOWING WAY DOWN, AND IS FLYING LAST
IT SEEMS HE SLIPPED INTO A PIT FULL OF TAR
IT'S GONNA TAKE AN OLYMPIC SIZED POOL FULL OF DAWN DISH SOAP
TO GET THEM WINGS BACK IN TIP-TOP FLYING CONDITION

SO HE'S SAUNTERING AROUND THE TRACK
GAINING SOME MORE CANDY POINTS
AND HEADING TO THE HAUNTED DOG-HOUSE

~MOONSHADOW ELF~ WAS THRILLED
ABOUT TODAY'S ADVENTURE
KNOWING THAT HER POWERS
WERE STRONGEST DURING A FULL MOON
BUT ALAS ... THIS RACE WAS RUN DURING THE DAY
AND HER STRENGTH WAS FAR FROM FULL POWER
LANDING HER JUST AHEAD OF PTERODACTILUS
...... BY A BUCK

SO SHE WANDERED OFF IN SEARCH OF
SOME OTHER HAUNTED FUN

~MAXWELL SMART~
"WOULD YOU BELIEVE" .....
WAS ACTUALLY ON A SECRET MISSION
TRYING TO DISCOVER WHO WAS BEHIND
THE TRICKS ON THE TRACK
HE WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMUNICATE WITH AGENT 99
WHEN ..... HE THREW A SHOE

AFTER THE RACE HE WAS SUMMONED BY 'THE CHIEF'
FOR A DEBRIEFING UNDER THE CONE OF SILENCE

THE FIELD IS COMING INTO THE TURN
ONLY TO DISCOVER A GIANT SPIDER WEB
HAS BEEN SPUN ACROSS THE TRACK

PYEWACKET USES MAGIC TO SLIP ON BY

FESTUS' MULE RUBY STARTS CHOMPING ON THE WEB

HEADLESS HORSEMAN WIELDS HIS AXE
AND CHOPS HIS WAY THRU

THUNDER GHOST JUST MATERIALIZES ON THE OTHER SIDE

ZORRO ... WHIPS OUT HIS SWORD AND SLASHES HIS
INFAMOUS "Z" INTO THE WEB AND RIDES ON

BAT RABBIT BITES THE SPIDER FOR A "LITTLE SNACK"
THEN CONTINUES ON HIS WAY

~NOTORIOUS RBG~
GOT HER SCALES OF JUSTICE
ENTANGLED IN THE WEB
THIS LED TO A LEGAL BATTLE WITH THE SPIDER AND
SHE DECIDED TO LAY DOWN THE BOOK OF THE LAW
THEN THREW HER GAVEL AND KILLED THAT SPIDER DEAD

THE REST OF THE FIELD IS MOVING ON
INTO THE HAUNTED CORN MAZE ......
6 WENT IN .... ONLY 4 CAME OUT
~ROAMIN ... IS THAT YOU??

BAT RABBIT -- HAVING HAD A SMALL TASTE OF THE SPIDER
DECIDED HE WAS FAMISHED AND NEEDED .... MORE ....
HE MOVED IN ON TORNADO, ZORRO'S HORSE AND DECIDED TO DINE
THE LOSS OF BLOOD WEAKENED TORNADO AND SLOWED HIM DOWN
AND FOR NOW ~BAT RABBIT AND ZORRO~ARE LOST IN THE MAZE

NOW OUT OF THE MAZE AND
DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME
..... UNTIL .....

2 RUNNERS "BAILED" OUT OF THE RACE
TO FOLLOW THE HAUNTED HAY RIDE
AND MUNCH ON A FEW BALES

~THUNDER GHOST~
THOUGHT SHE WAS PART OF
THIS SPOOKY ATTRACTION
SO SHE STAYED AWHILE TO
HAUNT THE HUMAN FOLK ON THE RIDE

~HEADLESS HORSEMAN'S~ HORSE -- DAREDEVIL
SAW THE HAY BALES AND STOPPED FOR A FEW MUNCHES
HEADLESS SAW THE LIT JACK'O'LANTERNS AND
WENT OFF IN SEARCH OF HIS HEAD

AND THEN THERE WERE 2 ....
THE MAGICAL MYSTICAL ~PYEWACKET~
AND THE SCRUFFY, CANTANKEROUS ~FESTUS HAGGEN~
AS THEY RIDE ON TO THE FINAL TRICK ...
RIGHT THROUGH THE HAUNTED GRAVEYARD
WHO WILL MAKE IT OUT FIRST

FESTUS HAD BEEN DRINKING
BEFORE AND DURING THE RACE
HE WAS SO DRUNK BY THIS POINT
HE FELL OFF RUBY AND ROLLED INTO
AN OPEN UNMARKED GRAVE

HE WAS MUTTERING HIS STRANGE METAPHORS
TO THE SPIRITS AND TOMBSTONES
"JUST SIT THERE LIKE A BOLL WEEVIL ON A CORN COB"
"IT'S AS QUIET AS A MOUSE TIPTOEING"
"NOW I GOT NO MORE CHANCE THAN
A GRASSHOPPER IN A HEN HOUSE"

PYEWACKET ALSO GOT A BIT DISTRACTED
BY THE SOUND OF WINGS ...
AS BATS AND RAVENS WERE FLYING ABOUT -- AND
WE ALL KNOW HOW CATS LOVE TO CHASE THINGS THAT FLY

WHO WILL MAKE IT OUT FROM THE HAUNTED GRAVEYARD
AND CROSS THE FINISH LINE FIRST???

FESTUS AND PYEWACKET
ARE RUNNING NECK AND NECK

FESTUS LOST HIS WHIP AND DROPS BACK JUST ENOUGH
AS ~PYEWACKET~ PURRRRS ON TO VICTORY

FESTUS WAS HEARD COMPLAINING TO THE STEWARDS
THAT PYEWACKET USED SOME KIND OF MAGIC ON HIM
BUT THEY WERE DISINCLINED TO BELIEVE SUCH NOTIONS

THE CANDY POLICE WILL BE
CHECKING ALL TREAT BAGS
TO CONFIRM ALL POINTS TOTALS
