Elegy For Jim Carroll

It's too late to date

Sharon Tate

But it's Halloween

And the scene can't be unseen


It's too late to date

Norma Jean but wait

It's Halloween

And her blonde hair has turned green


It's too late to date

Farrah Fawcett but wait

It's Halloween

And her poster's no angel it seems


It's too late to date

Mama Cass but wait

It's Halloween

And her ass is way too lean


It's to late to date

Shirley Temple but wait

It's Halloween

And her bones are skeleteen


It's too late to date

Selena hey but wait

It's Halloween

Nothing left of the Tejano Queen 


It's too late to date

Taylor Swift but wait

It's Halloween

Her cherry was lost on a trampoline


It's too late to date

Frankenstein's bride but wait

It's Halloween

And her thighs don't match I scream 


It's too late to date

My first girl but wait

It's Halloween

Her and her candy corn teeth I mean
