Halloween 2020

3 Senryu and a few Limericks

an eerie shadow
a hand touches my shoulder
....a double parked broom

shrieks in the graveyard
skeletons in the moonlight
.....a timpani of old bones

arched backs and Mohawks
claw marks and a hissy fit
......broom stick rumble seat

The Corona virus mask
creates a Halloween task
how to eat candy
even when handy
the same problem exists for dad's flask


The witches and ghoulies are running late
rushing with potions to seal our fate
if it gets much sicker
I'll just use the clicker
and move to a colorless state

That first senryu -- 'a double-parked broom' is just priceless, John. Bullseye. Thanks, Gershon
