Halloween Is Fun

A weird disturbance in the belfry….werewolves or worse?
Batwing held on a bit tighter to her bulging old purse.
Count Dracula’s red eyes bounced open in morbid surprise.
Spooky goblins chasing ghouls. Gargoyles smiles are on the rise.

October is the month for things to be slightly amiss.
The ebony toad hops away from warm cauldron’s kiss.
Witches on wispy broomsticks, showing off strange tricks.
Coffin sleepers glory in trick-or-treating shticks.

Magic in the air, anticipatory sheen.
What day is it daughter? Of course it’s Halloween.
Grab your mask, your costume and orange madness boots.
The owls are all atwitter, hooting pumpkin shoots.

They have just opened an "Haunted Drive-in" in Tokyo, where you stay safe in your car in an 11-minute journey among zombies et all, culminating in ghouls washing the "blood" off your car! Who has time to think these things through? Aloha! Rico

I just have to tell you I want to go to Tokyo for the first time ever now, and you are to blame.
