A Toast For Halloween

And with this toast on Halloween A creepy drink of black and green The smoke that rambles witches’ brew Will find its way to capture you For as you sip this wolves’ delight Upon this most unworldly night You may begin to understand The taste of leg and arm and hand It takes not much to feel the change And then to know what else is strange When you can touch your hairy chin The mangled teeth contained within Too late to drop this cup of fear The urge to hunt and kill is here Lycanthropy is very real The moon is full of your first meal

Yikes - that tale was scary and would have kept me indoors watching a comedy to detract bad spirits and spread good karma around. Once again excellent. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

Yikes! All of a sudden I have this uncanny urge to howl at the moon. Note to self… don’t eat the dentist. Congrats on your win, Mike. Terry
