Party Time

It was on the night before Halloween
A more ghastly sight you have never seen
The committee met in the creepy crypt
The chairman put down his bloodstained script
”Ok its all agreed, well that’s just fine.
Come on guys, its PARTY TIME”
~
"For three hundred years
I’ve wept these tears
and played the tormented nun
But for tonight, in the bright moonlight
I’m a’ going to have some fun"
~
The lady in red
Squealed “I know I’m dead.
It’s not my fault I can’t lie down.
So stuff you all I’m having a ball
I’m all yours for half-a –crown”
~
The headless horseman took her hand
Together they danced to the ghostly band
“I would give you a kiss, if you had a head”
He rubbed his belly and to her said
”No worries girl, kiss me here instead”
~
Highwayman Bill from the city of Leeds
Skewered to a tree for his dastardly deeds
A hairy dude in need of a shave
In spite of his predicament joined in the Rave
Drawing his flintlocks, a right handsome pair
Fired them into the cold frosty air
~
A flock of witches from far off Devon
Ghouls from Glasgow on a 747
Skeletons, phantoms, spirits galore
Dancing, prancing, begging for more
Then, by the light of a half hearted dawn
Wending homeward on October morn
~
So sorry folk’s its all over I fear
No ‘trick or treat’ for the kiddies this year
The ghosties are knackered, their tired out and done
They send their apologies for spoiling your fun
Ok Halloween’s cancelled but don’t you despair
I’ll send Ma in Law over, God!! That ull give you a scare

I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.

Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
