Dress Up For Grownups

* for "Halloween Costume" contest sponsored by SKAT* Oh I've had many wacky costumes through the years Just to show folks nothing is as it appears! Once I dressed as a pirate and wore videos A cable wire necklace and swashbuckler clothes I was a video pirate and some people guessed When they saw vcr tapes in my treasure chest Another time I had antennae and big wings Dressed like a gypsy with my necklaces and rings I was a gypsy moth,not many even knew They'd stare at me and laugh but didn't have a clue And sorry to say but once I was a pregnant nun Irreverent,I know,but it was so much fun! When all else fails and you are kind of in a hurry Here's a last minute one so you don't have to worry Put P on a t-shirt,blacken up one eye You'll be a black-eyed pea,it's good for a stand-by! I've been a box of Kleenex and a trophy wife And all the normal,boring things you see in life But being a creative soul I've tried to be At Halloween something you don't usually see!

Absolutely loved it! You really made me smile with your creative costumes of halloween's past! Try this one: light blue flannel pajamas with paper clouds pinned to them while carrying a spray bottle. You're a partly cloudy day with a chance of showers! Okay, something of the novelty may be lost here but it went over really well at the time! Ha ha! Well done my friend and good luck!
