Clearview Adult Education Center issued the following announcement on May 18.
"LITERARY SKULL"
Halloween appears,
and the death volunteers
at Clearview Adult E. Center.
She is not searching for a shelter.
She is waiting for teacher Inguna
to give her some tuna.
When teacher Inguna arrives
the skull is surprised
she is wearing a mask
It is not a task.
It is covid time.
All the students are fully vaccinated,
and the death is feeling aggravated.
ESOL students are feeling happy,
but the death is snappy
while they think she is gone,
She is waiting for them at dawn.
Between masks, vaccines and safe space
the death is in disgrace
she is trying to attack back,
but she has lost her track.
She is returning to the burial ground
This October has been a trivial round.
Death is taking her last breath
but remember, she is not fully dead
she will hide
for some time
to plan her next prank,
and next year, she is coming back.
