2. A VILLAIN story in a villanelle poem.

In Haddonfield, a masked man named Myers 

On Halloween night, his villainous delight 

But wait, the bus left without him, oh my! 

The town breathes easy, safe from his dark sight

No slashing spree, no menacing pursuit 

On Halloween night, his villainous delight

He missed the ride, and it's quite a hoot 

No terror this year, oh, what a fuss 

In Haddonfield, a masked man named Myers 

His plans foiled by a simple school bus 

The town's streets are calm, a welcome respite 

But wait, the bus left without him, oh my! 

Halloween's now free from his eerie blight 

No more lurking, no more endless pursuit 

On Halloween night, his villainous delight 

The town's folks party with all their might 

In Haddonfield, a masked man named Myers 

But wait, the bus left without him, oh my!
