Jay of the Dead icon “Little Yellow Yo-Yo” – by Jay of the Dead

Little Yellow Yo-Yo rules my world.
Little Yellow Yo-Yo made me punch that squirrel
against a tree, now it’s dead. Wee.

Little Yellow Yo-Yo you’re so bad.
Little Yellow Yo-Yo made me push my dad
into that vat of molten steel. Wee.

Little Yellow Yo-Yo makes demands.
Little Yellow Yo-Yo made me glue my hand
onto this hot frying pan. Oww. Oww.

Little Yellow Yo-Yo runs my life.
Little Yellow Yo-Yo made me put my wife
in the baler press. She seems stressed.

Wee. Wee. Wee. Wee.

Count Mackula wins best top 10 list for 2023! Schlocky monster movies are always welcome on a top ten horror list. I’ll be watching “The Tank” now, sounds like a good one. . . .

Best wishes for everyone’s Halloween!
