Frightening Picture

There’s an old, creepy, and frightening picture Of a horrid man with evil beady eyes That sits atop a scary fireplace juncture A great fearful portrait of angry surprise On the mantle is a well-crafted pumpkin An ugly Jack-O-Lantern with orange skin This is a lit pumpkin with a fearsome face Which brings fear to all that walk into this place

crikey - that is a frightening picture, my friend, lol. It's great you're still enjoying Halloween. Yes, the drink is horrid! Bloody Mary was Henry VIII's daughter and she executed hundreds - thousands - of people for their religion (she was Catholic).
