Madonna's Or Lady Gaga's Costume?

Many girls of this generation love to wear a Halloween costume...
something unusual, not looking like a fair godmother, they assume.


Madonna is their idol too, more stylish than Lady Gaga, but much they seem to share...
they should choose the costume that will make them look much older than they are.


So girls barge in stores and buy that costume you'll love to wear on Halloween night,
don't grab anything that's out of style with bright colors that don't reflect moonlight.  


Look dangerous and manacing and chase away naughty boys dressed as vampires,
step on their tiny toes, if they try to grab you imitating bats with red, bloody eyes.


Have fun and smile, no night compares to this one with all the noise and sneers,
be careful not to stare at them for too long...their teeth are sharper than scissors.


Run and keep on screaming and they will stop chasing you or at least give up,
and if they springle Baby Podwer on you...make believe that's dust from a star.

Gee, when I was a kid, I used to wear my sister's old prom dresses, Andrew. If my father had seen me in anything even resembling a Madonna outfit, I wouldn't have been let out of the house. It was a lot of fun reading your poem and making believe that a sprinkle of baby powder might be star dust! There's a meteor shower this week, you know. Enjoyed this Halloween treat! Love, Carolyn
