<p style="text-align:center;">              '''I'''t was late one fall in Halloweenland,<br />
And the air had quite a chill.<br />
Against the moon a skeleton sat,<br />
Alone upon a hill.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''H'''e was tall and thin with a bat bow tie;<br />
Jack Skellington was his name.<br />
He was tired and bored in Halloweenland -<br />
Everything was always the same.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">"'''I''''m sick of the scaring, the terror, the fright.<br />
I'm tired of being something that goes bump in the night.<br />
I'm bored with leering my horrible glances,<br />
And my feet hurt from dancing those skeleton dances.<br />
I don't like graveyards, and I need something new.<br />
There must be more to life than just yelling, 'Boo!'"</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''T'''hen out from a grave, with a curl and a twist,<br />
Came a whimpering, whining, spectral mist.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I'''t was a little ghost dog, with a faint little bark,<br />
And a jack-o'-lantern nose that glowed in the dark.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I'''t was Jack's dog, Zero, the best friend he had,<br />
But Jack hardly noticed, which made Zero sad.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''A'''ll that night and through the next day,<br />
Jack wandered and walked.<br />
He was filled with dismay.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''T'''hen deep in the forest, just before night,<br />
Jack came upon an amazing sight.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''N'''ot twenty feet from the spot where he stood<br />
Were three massive doorways carved in wood.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''H'''e stood before them, completely in awe,<br />
His gaze transfixed by one special door.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''E'''ntranced and excited, with a slight sense of worry,</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''J'''ack opened the door to a white, windy flurry.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''J'''ack didn't know it, but he'd fallen down<br />
In the middle of a place called Christmas Town!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I'''mmersed in the light, Jack was no longer haunted.<br />
He had finally found the feeling he wanted.<br />
And so that his friends wouldn't think him a liar,<br />
He took the present filled stockings that hung by the fire.<br />
He took candy and toys that were stacked on the shelves,<br />
And a picture of Santa with all of his elves.<br />
He took lights and ornaments and the star from the tree,<br />
And from the Christmas Town sign, he took the big letter C.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''H'''e picked up everything that sparkled or glowed.<br />
He even picked up a handful of snow.<br />
He grabbed it all and without being seen,<br />
He took it all back to Halloween.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''B'''ack in Halloween, a group of Jack's peers<br />
Stared in amazement at his Christmas souvenirs.<br />
For this wondrous vision none were prepared.<br />
Most were excited, though a few were quite scared!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''F'''or the next few days, while it lightninged and thundered,<br />
Jack sat alone and obsessively wondered.<br />
"Why is it they get to spread laughter and cheer<br />
While we stalk the graveyards, spreading panic and fear?<br />
Well, I could be Santa, and I could spread cheer!<br />
Why does he get to do it year after year?"<br />
Outraged by injustice, Jack thought and he thought.<br />
Then he got an idea. "Yes...yes...why not!"</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I'''n Christmas Town, Santa was making some toys<br />
When through the din he heard a soft noise.<br />
He answered the door, and to his surprise,<br />
He saw weird little creatures in strange disguise.<br />
They were altogether ugly and rather petite.<br />
As they opened their sacks, they yelled, "Trick or treat!"<br />
Then a confused Santa was shoved into a sack<br />
And taken to Halloween to see mastermind Jack.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I'''n Halloween everyone gathered once more,<br />
For they'd never seen a Santa before<br />
And as they cautiously gazed at this strange old man,<br />
Jack related to Santa his masterful plan:</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">"'''M'''y dear Mr. Claus, I think it's a crime<br />
That you've got to be Santa all of the time!<br />
But now ''I'' will give presents, and ''I'' will spread cheer.<br />
We're changing places ''I'm'' Santa this year.<br />
It is ''I'' who will say Merry Christmas to you!<br />
So you may lie in my coffin, creak doors, and yell, 'Boo!'<br />
And please, Mr. Claus, don't think ill of my plan.<br />
For I'll do the best Santa job that I can."</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''A'''nd though Jack and his friends thought they'd do a good job,<br />
Their idea of Christmas was still quite macabre.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''T'''hey were packed up and ready on Christmas Eve day<br />
When Jack hitched his reindeer to his sleek coffin sleigh.<br />
But on Christmas Eve, as they were about to begin,<br />
A Halloween fog slowly rolled in.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''J'''ack said, "We can't leave; this fog's just too thick.<br />
There will be no Christmas, and I can't be St. Nick."<br />
Then a small glowing light pierced through the fog,<br />
What could it be?...It was Zero, Jack's dog!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''J'''ack said, "Zero, with your nose so bright,<br />
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''A'''nd to be so needed was Zero's great dream,<br />
So he joyously flew to the head of the team.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''A'''nd as the skeletal sleigh started its ghostly flight,<br />
Jack cackled, "Merry Christmas to all,<br />
and to all a good night!"</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'<nowiki/>'''T'''was the nightmare before Christmas, and all through the house,<br />
Not a creature was peaceful, not even a mouse.<br />
The stockings all hung by the chimney with care,<br />
When opened that morning would cause quite/such a scare!<br />
The children, all nestled so snug in their beds,<br />
Would have nightmares of monsters and skeleton heads.<br />
The moon that hung over the new-fallen snow<br />
Cast an eerie pall over the city below,<br />
And Santa Claus's laughter now sounded like groans,<br />
And the jingling bells like chattering bones.<br />
And what to their wondering eyes should appear,<br />
But a coffin sleigh with skeleton deer.<br />
And a skeletal driver so ugly and sick,<br />
They knew in a moment, this can't be St. Nick!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''F'''rom house to house, with a true sense of joy,<br />
Jack happily issued each present and toy.<br />
From rooftop to rooftop he jumped and he skipped,<br />
Leaving presents that seemed to be straight from a crypt!<br />
Unaware that the world was in panic and fear,<br />
Jack merrily spread his own brand of cheer.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''H'''e visited the house of<br />
Susie and Dave;<br />
They got a Gumby and Pokey<br />
From the grave.<br />
Then on to the home of<br />
Little Jane Neeman;<br />
She got a baby doll<br />
Possessed by a demon.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''A''' monstrous train with tentacle tracks,<br />
A ghoulish puppet wielding an ax,<br />
A man-eating plant<br />
Disguised as a wreath,<br />
And a vampire teddy bear<br />
With very sharp teeth.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''T'''here were screams of terror, but Jack didn't hear it,<br />
He was much too involved with his own Christmas spirit!<br />
Jack finally looked down from his dark, starry frights<br />
And saw the commotion, the noise, and the light.<br />
"Why, they're celebrating, it looks like such fun!<br />
They're thanking me for the good job that I've done."<br />
But what he thought were fireworks meant as goodwill,<br />
Were bullets and missiles intended to kill.<br />
Then amidst the barrage of artillery fire,<br />
Jack urged Zero to go higher and higher.<br />
And away they all flew like the storm of a thistle,<br />
Until they were hit by a well guided missile.<br />
And as they fell on the cemetery, way out of sight,<br />
Was heard, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">'''J'''ack pulled himself up on a large stone cross,<br />
And from there he reviewed his incredible loss.<br />
"I thought I could be Santa, I had such belief..."<br />
Jack was confused and filled with great grief.<br />
Not knowing where to turn, he looked toward the sky,<br />
Then he slumped on the grave and he started to cry.<br />
And as Zero and Jack lay crumpled on the ground,<br />
They suddenly heard a familiar sound....</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">"'''M'''y dear Jack," said Santa, "I applaud your intent.<br />
I know wreaking such havoc was not what you meant.<br />
And so you are sad, and feeling quite blue,<br />
But taking over Christmas was the wrong thing to do.<br />
I hope you realize Halloween's the right place for you.<br />
There's a lot more, Jack, that I'd like to say,<br />
But now I must hurry, for it's almost Christmas Day."<br />
Then he jumped in his sleigh, and with a wink of an eye,<br />
He said, "Merry Christmas!", and he bid them good-bye.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Back home, Jack was sad, but then, like a dream,<br />
Santa brought Christmas to the land of Halloween.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">'''''THE END'''''</p>
