Strumpet Meets Star Wars

For trick or treating Stella the strumpet

Got dressed up as a butterscotch crumpet

     Caught his eye – Jabba the Hutt

     He had hunger pangs in his gut

No more strumpet; Hutt plays "Taps" on trumpet

Carolyn! You've left me here craving a crumpet, Even a butterscotch one made of strumpet. So when I saw Jabba once more, I gave his Hutt butt what for, And put his corpse in trash bag to dump it. Love, and Happy Halloween, Will
