72 Miles From The Sea

BLACK AND WHITE STRIPED STOCKINGS

Black and white striped stockings

Was all that the witch was wearing

Apart from the tradition headwear

And ankle boots, so it was very daring

And when the witch asked “Trick or Treat”

She clearly wasn’t there for the scaring

ARE YOU WEARING A DRACULA OUTFIT?

Are you wearing a Dracula outfit?

Well I promise not to put up a fight

And at the end of the Halloween party

I will let you have more than bite

IT HAPPENS EVERY HALLOWEEN

It happens every Halloween when

Enthusiastic revellers frequent

Accident and Emergency, where

Clinicians call it trick or treatment

ARE YOU WEARING A HALLOWEEN TIE?

Are you wearing a Halloween tie?

If that’s what it’s supposed to be

Well what is it if it’s not a tie?

Oh god it’s alive and wriggly

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”

IF VAMPIRES CAN’T SEE THEIR OWN REFLECTION

If vampires can’t see

Their own reflection

In a mirror or anything else

That’s shiny

Then the thing I

Have always wondered is

How do they manage?

To keep their hair tidy?
