IT’S NOT MY FAVOURITE HOLIDAY

 

It’s not my favourite holiday

And although opinions vary

I do really love Halloween

As I can eat, drink and be scary

IT WAS SO BIG AND ROUND

 

It was so big and round

Like a big orange bumpkin

It was a fat Jack-O-Lantern

Carved out of a plumpkin

THE OLD BLACK WITCH’S CAT # 1

The most comfortably fat

Old black witch’s cat

Is often known to take a nap

In her black pointed hat

ARE YOU WEARING DEVILS HORNS?

 

Are you wearing devils horns?

Now I get one of those winks

You’re wearing the tail as well?

You naughty little minx

You are clearly more devilish

Than anyone else thinks

Is it because it’s Halloween

Or a few too many Drinks

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – 28 DAYS (2000)

 

“28 Days” is a Comedy drama, written by Susannah Grant and Directed by Betty Thomas.

 

New York based writer Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is ordered by the court to enter a drug and alcohol rehab centre for twenty-eight days or go to jail for the same period, after ruining her sister's wedding day when she stole the wedding limousine and when on a drunken joyride before crashing it into someone’s house.

Gwen resents having to be there because although she is aware she drinks too much but doesn't believe it's a problem and if she chose to, she could stop at any time.

Unfortunately, her live-in boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) encouraged her excessive alcohol consumption because he was just as bad.

Her councillor Cornell (Steve Buscemi) and the other people in her group sessions

Andrea (Azura Skye), Gerhardt (Alan Tudyk), Oliver (Michael O'Malley), Roshanda (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), Daniel (Reni Santoni), Bobbie Jean (Diane Ladd) and Eddie Boone (Viggo Mortensen), force her to confront her demons and lay the foundations for rebuilding the relationship between Gwen and her sister Lily (Elizabeth Perkins).

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

IF VAMPIRES CAN’T SEE

 

If vampires can’t see

Their own reflection

In a mirror, either flat

Convex or concave

Then the thing that I

Have always wondered is

How do they manage?

When they have to shave?
