Costume Catastrophe

Once with a large box for the body and another over my head a robot was born with lots of knobs and a slinky for a hat but, I couldn't sit down so I stood looking out eye holes until I couldn't stand any more. Being a robot was a chore. Another year a mummy seemed a cool idea so I cut strips of sheet to wrap myself from head to feet and after taping the strips was done, I left for a party to have some fun but by the time I walked to the door half the strips were sliding to the floor. My mummy was crummy so I went as a half-wrapped accident victim instead. Think I'll try a clown this year and keep it simple for me because too much imagination makes for a costume catastrophe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ for Carol's Halloween contest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
