Holiday Limericks

 Her lover left her on Halloween
 and then ran off with the zombie queen
 She sat there sipping wine
 Looking like Frankenstein
 She saw a ghoul and he looked so keen

 They went to the ball in a limousine
 She and the ghoul,  it was a monstrous scene
 and so they danced all night
 With some boos and a fright
 She puckered her lips, it was glowing green!

Hi Joseph, when he left with a zombie queen, she left with a ghoul. This 'tit for tat' game, I greatly enjoyed....
