No one tells (I should stop here) …of shadows in the alleyways believe me… (you should) that the fangs come out at night (never during the day) i have to say (you should too) that the movies are too trite with blood no guts no gusto by the way no great romance of happenstance well one or two (perhaps) dark shadows was classic twilight, a scream a handsome stranger rings the bell he’s a bit pale charms you to your bones she is young and beautiful sees her reflection nothing more she should wear a cross or douse herself in garlic (but maybe he likes garlic with his meal) her dad’s loading silver bullets in his revolver (perhaps he’s a taste for murder) there’s a coffin sitting in the driveway her dad smiles. he can put that to some use or get his goose cooked (you see, he didn’t see the stranger creeping up his way) the vampire had no use for his superpowers just knocked good old dad out the gal’s already knocked up with two holes in her jugular vein (didn’t see it happen?) perhaps you paid too much attention to the dad and now he has you in his sights but you won’t have time to turn and run you can’t win this race no one tells a deadman’s tale mind you, it’s all just… speculation 8/19/2022

You should tell this story to the Bidens in the White House on Halloween. Maybe it will scare them both... to death. ~ 'Wishin and a-hopin', gw

It would scare me to be with the Bidens in the White House on Halloween. Who knows what skeletons they’re hiding! Really they would be scared as I would be bringing the Spirit of God with me. Should we go paper their yard…lol! ;)

Enjoyed this very much. A great sense of playful fun in retrospect.
