Up there on a broom
in the Halloween sky
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane? Is it--
Bela Lugosi?
Nope ~ It's Nancy Pelosi
______________________
Bela Lugosi was a star of
old b&w horror movies...
For non-Americans, Nancy
Pelosi is the octogenarian
Speaker of the House (of
Representatives), a power-
ful woman. For Americans,
she is either a praiseworthy
leader or a target of intense
ridicule, depending on one's
political views.
You have to feel sorry for Nancy Pelosi
To control the 'Squad'
She tries to play God
But she comes off more like Bela Lugosi
Sheesh
I am not a monster like Bela*
I’m just a romantic fella
But this is no good
I see Hollywood
Has decided to slam Cinderella
Ok, some of you have pointed out my mistake and I acknowledge, I was wrong. It was Snow White and not Cinderella they were slamming. But Snow White doesn't rhyme with fella so... : ) I guess I don't know my fairy tales too well. Regardless it is ridiculous.
I know this Limerick sucks but what the hell is going on in this world?
I read this morning that some Hollywood star (?) has come to the decision
that because Prince Charming kissed Cinderella while she was asleep
(under the witches spell) he did so without her permission so this cartoon
is sending a bad message to young boys. I mean, what’s next?
Bambi, because his little rabbit friend’s name is Thumper and
that rhymes with Hump Her? Sheesh.
* Bela Lugosi who portrayed Dracula in the movies
Nine on each vampire team
all eighteen clones of Bela Lugosi it seemed
one up at bat turning into one
flying super fast making a home run,
The umpire vampires would always call out safe
not wanting to get into a vampire riot just in case
knowing each other quite like an old book
all belonging to the same vampire brotherhood,
I was the only baseball fan in the stands
wearing a turtleneck which was a good plan
eating peanuts and popcorn in the night air
as one of the Bela fellas gave me an eerie stare,
It didn't matter who I rooted for
while Count Dracula kept the baseball score
seems like they were just in it for fun
that is till the emergence of the sun,
Suddenly they all disappeared in the twilight air
because when I awoke no one was there
just me yawning and stretching in bed
with the field of vampire dream still in my head.

a big helping of kettle corn
a good classic movie starring spencer tracy
money left over from all bills paid....for once
no cares in the world....for now
monday nowhere in sight....at least not yet
a good woman still holding me down
me rubbing her back as we react to said spencer tracy movie
somewhere along the way katharine hepburn shows up
a two horror flicks with boris karloff and bela lugosi respectively are coming on next
we feel as if we are in heaven...the big helping of kettle corn is all almost gone....
....heaven help our stomachs later on....
