SHE MAY BE A WITCH

 

She may be a witch

And she may do spells

Which sounds like poetry

As far as anyone tells

So just beware of

Unnatural smells

Or you’ll fall victim

To one of her spells

EVERYONE WANTS CANDY ON HALLOWEEN

Everyone wants Candy on Halloween

As they march on their trick or treat patrol

But the only Candy that interests me

Will be swinging on a silver pole 

ARE YOU WEARING POINTY SHOES?

 

Are you wearing pointy shoes?

 Is that because they are on trend?

Well I’m sorry but I have to ask

“Do your toes go right to the end?”

ARE YOU WEARING A HALLOWEEN CARDIGAN?

 

Are you wearing a Halloween Cardigan?

A cardigan? On all hallows eve

A cardy doesn’t say “night of the dead”

So I don’t think you really believe

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES (1938)

 

“Angels with Dirty Faces” is a Crime Drama, screenplay by John Wexley and Warren Duff, from a story by Rowland Brown and Directed by Michael Curtiz.

It’s the story of two boyhood friends, Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) and Jerry Connolly (Pat O'Brien) who were running from the police one night when Rocky was caught.

After he was arrested he went into the prison system and became a lifelong criminal, while Jerry went straight and became a Catholic Priest and ministered to people in the same neighbourhood where he and Rocky grew up.

When Rocky is released from prison after his latest term he resumes his criminal lifestyle and is hero worshipped by many of the local kids.

Jerry is worried that the kids will follow Rocky down the wrong path into the criminal world, and works hard to keep them on the straight and narrow.

But no matter what he says he can’t get through to them, even after Rocky is convicted of murder and sentenced to the electric chair, so Jerry visits him on death row and asks him for one last favour.

A classic of the genre, with extraordinary acting by James Cagney, ably complimented by Pat O'Brien as his friend, Humphrey Bogart who is the perfect actor as the arch villain, and the radiant Ann Sheridan adds a feminine touch.

HALLOWEEN PICKUP # 1

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

During the Halloween season

Just say to any girl you meet

“If you let me show you a trick

I can promise you’ll get a treat”

Are you wearing a Halloween Top?

Because there isn’t very much of it
