I'm sorry I didn't know the page colour had changed to give your eyes a rest. If you really do want to read this can I ask you to go to the other poem of the same name. Thank you Mushy  You Don't Want To Go To The Devils' Ball This day, today, it's a strange one to be sure This night is the night. Ah! You want to know more? Well this day 'tis known as all hallows eve When strange tales are told or so I believe It's said that this night the dead can awaken And the souls of the wicked can be, and are taken This one night the witches won't sleep in their bed They'll take to the air on their broomsticks instead With shrieks and loud screams they will mass and fly To their witches hide-a-way across the blackened sky These witches familiars set up an almighty brawl As all things loathsome to their masters will crawl The dead will creep from thier coffins this night And dance with the devil in the silver moonlight Those souls that are lost and seeking some release Will cry to each other begging and calling for peace The ghouls and the spooks will join in the throng Ready and able to wail and screech in their own song So this night whilst in your cosy bed you sleep Don't be tempted to rise and take even a small peep Those witches will know exactly who and what you do They'll swoop from on high, and they will capture you The dead as they dance will rattle their poor old bones And your soul, as it suffers, will most surely moan Just you listen to my friendly and very sage advice You really wouldn't wish to pay the Devils price For watching the dances of these creatures from hell The price of the ticket? Ah! It's your soul you'll sell So you just go back to sleep, don't peep out at all Trust me, you don't want to witness the Devils' ball Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-31-2000).] |

Elizabeth, that's right love you stay inside. Booo Watch out behind you! SEA, spooky calling, Oooh ahhhh! Sorry I didn't realise the pages had changed colour. Glad you like this one, although I don't think I do scary that well. It's because I'm so Mushy. Be good love, but not too good!! Mark, well funny you should ask! Mmmmm it was sort of the salty, but........ well I'd better not say any more or I'll find myself kicked into the adult poetry. Anyway I do believe Cowboys have a special exemption from hexs and spooks, or I could offer you one of my spells. (At a special rate for friends,) they're guarantied to keep you safe from any spirits, that don't come in a bottle.  Take care Mushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kethry, thank you love, I appreciate it I do. Well at least that's it over for another year, now all I have to worry about is whether there are any little devils waiting for me as I go home tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Alan, I'm glad you liked this little attempt of mine. Thank you for reading, I do truly thank you.
