LITTLE MONSTERS

 

Little monsters in costumes

Looking for candy treats

Terrorizing the neighbours

All along the street

They prey on young or old

To satisfy their appetites

Treats are handed over

To creatures of the night

 

With their goody bags

Full of every candy treat

They can’t wait to get home

Before they start to eat

 

Then when the bags are empty

They realise their mistake

They’ve eaten so much candy

They’ve all got stomach ache

WITCHNAPPED

 

On her broomstick she swoops

And into her arms she scoops

A poor unsuspecting young man

Because as a witch she can

And carries him off through the night

Then uses him for her delight

In the light of the cauldrons fire

She indulges her every desire

THE LITTLE BEWITCHER

 

She is a little bewitcher

The little servant of Wicca

Who has ensnared my heart

Which I opposed from the start

I was happy being single

But she has made my senses tingle

And she used her Wiccan ways

Against all resistance raised

It is not some fanciful notion

To blame an exotic potion

Or the casting of a spell

To bewitch me quite so well

Now she bends me too her will

And gently holds me still

Then this little Wiccan miss

Captures my soul with her kiss

ARE YOU WEARING A HALLOWEEN HAT?

 

Are you wearing a Halloween Hat?

Sitting so perfectly on your head

A gruesome little tit for tat

With fangs dripping crimson red

Uncanny Tales – (009) Spring was in the air

 

Spring was certainly in the air on that beautiful early Spring weekend, and what wonderful weather it was, made all the nicer after the long drawn out winter that preceded it, which probably seemed that much longer than it was because we had had no summer to speak of the previous year.

Anyway, the weather was so nice that after breakfast I left my wife in bed reading the Sundays and I set off for a good long walk around the village and its environs.

As I enjoyed the warm Spring sunshine, I noticed the many harbingers of the season such as the daffodils nodding in the breeze, birdsong everywhere and endless parades of cyclists along the lanes punctuated only by the occasional car towing a caravan.

 

After a couple of strenuous hours, I had worked up something of a sweat as well as a thirst to match, so I headed towards home, but because of the thirst I thought I might just have a cool refreshing beer at the village pub on the way.

However once I reached the pub I soon realised I was not the only one to have that idea and I had to negotiate my way through piles of abandoned bikes and was then greeted by the scene of a packed beer garden full of people showing far too much white flesh than was good for anyone which had the effect of slaking my thirst.

So I decided to give it a miss after all and went home early instead, where I could enjoy a cold beer in my own garden, but when I entered my house I discovered that my neighbour Gerry, had not only entered the house before me but had also entered my wife, and more than once by the look of the pair of them and I was immediately struck with by the thought that their actions had rendered me the first cuckold of Spring.

DOUBLE, DOUBLE, TOIL AND TROUBLE

 

Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Shake it shake it at the double

Don’t drink much or you’re in trouble

ARE YOU WEARING A DEVILISH OUTFIT?

 

Are you wearing a devilish outfit?

Just the thing for a Halloween night

A real devilish red bloodied treat

All sinful red and ultra-skin tight
