Uploaded with ImageShack.us Halloween is upon us Another spooky midnight hour With the latest Follywood stars Caesar's ghost and Liberace's piano Will walk the streets and Back alleys and places unheard of Some with blood dripping From severed heads Little Bo Peep And her Working Girls Giving discounts and delights The night goes still In the witching hour Screams and titters, guffaws As All Hallows greets the undead Oh, look! Tiny Tim and his uke And Miss Vickie Scary in real life But just look at them now Ghouls, werewolf's and vampires Some which live right next door And you never knew Well, you thought you did But who are you to expose their awful deeds Keep quiet and no one will find out about you Standing on the porch Greeting the dreads and the dread-not's Night is black Strong wind a-blowing Sending chills up and down your all-together You flinch Knowing full well that in time Unpleasant words will be blown in your ear Sent by a frigid winter's squall But tonight is your night You can be yourself and not be afraid Someone will call the Freak Patrol ©October 30, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.--Oliver Wendell Holmes ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (10-31-2011 11:09 PM).] |

Once upon a time ago, I hosted an annual halloween party... but after being driven from my own home by someone who thought I really wouldn't mind him bringing a boa constrictor as his date (in spite of knowing I'm terrified of snakes!!!), I've enjoyed much quieter evenings. LOL I don't even get any trick-or-treaters... my stairs are too steep to be worth a Snickers, I suppose. I'll probably end up watching a sappy movie... unafraid to be my wimpy self. LOL |

You should have called the cops on the idiot who brought that damn monster to your party, suthern. My late wife and I quit handing out candy quite a few years ago when teenagers began knocking on the door and looking like they were ready to burn the house down if we didn't give them candy. Teenagers! ~*~ The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.--Oliver Wendell Holmes ~*~ |
