Peeping at a Skelton Disco

Halloween Skeleton Disco was in full swing tonight
They were throwing each other around in the glittering light
Some of them hit the wall when their partners tossed them
Their legs and arms askew, and their heads doing a spin

It was interesting to the rest of us, scary to some
Don’t say a word cautioned my dad, my aunt and my mum
We were peeking at them through a peep holes in a wall
It was fun watching them do the Watutsi, the twist and the crawl
