ARE YOU WEARING STRIPED STOCKINGS?

 

Are you wearing striped stockings?

It must be that time of the year again

I know you think they’re cute, but

Your legs look like necrotic candy canes

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1982)

“Witness for the Prosecution” is a Courtroom

Drama, written for television by John Gay, screenplay written by Billy Wilder and

Harry Kurnitz, Agatha Christies play adapted for television by Lawrence B. Marcus, and Directed by Alan Gibson.

 

In this extremely enjoyable courtroom drama, cantankerous, yet brilliant barrister Sir Wilfred Robarts (Sir Ralph Richardson) returns to his office in London, having recovered from a heart attack, under the watchful eye of Nurse Plimsoll (Deborah Kerr).

He is subsequently invited to defend Leonard Vole (Beau Bridges), who is the prime suspect in the murder of an elderly rich woman.

The unemployed, former World War II veteran, married to his beloved German wife Christine Vole (Dame Diana Rigg), is accused of seducing, and murdering the wealthy middle-aged single woman, Emily French (Patricia Leslie), in order to inherit eighty thousand pounds, and the stubborn QC must defend him.

  

I AM BEING HAUNTED BY

 

I am being haunted by

A dancing ghostly vision

Who really has the moves

So I call him Boogie Man

HALLOWEEN FANCY DRESS

 

My friend asked me

What I was going to be

For Halloween

I said “Drunk will do me”

HALLOWEEN IS JUST AN EXCUSE

 

Halloween is just an excuse

For girls to dress inappropriately

And that’s why Halloween

Is the best holiday for me

HALLOWEEN IS A CONTEST

 

For my friends and I, Halloween is a contest

And I go all out to beat them all

This year I dressed my dog up as a cat

But now he won’t come when I call

THE LESSON THAT HALLOWEEN TEACHES

The lesson that Halloween teaches

Us all, Might well strike a chord

It’s pretending to be something you're not

Which will lead to a sweet reward
