A wreath on the door
Of black roses a dozen
A carpet on the floor
Of dead leaves, ashen
The lights are far gone
Darkness, embrace me
Time for all ghouls now
Begins now Halloween
Jack-o-Lanterns aglow
Time to trick or treat
Here at Ghoulโs Gala
Where all are to meet
The banquet is ready
This lion the little host
In his favorite costume
The pillowcase ghost
Welcome to the Ghoul’s Gala, the Halloween Party! All Ghouls welcome! Due to various unwanteds entering the banquet hall, I’ve asked Franky Frankenstein to keep an eye on the door. So he might not let you in without me telling OK. I’m always at the door though, unless I’m occupied elsewhere. Don’t run away, I’ll be there to let you in as soon as I can. You only need approval for entering the first time, then you can go back and return any time you wish! The food is on the table, so help yourself. There are sand witches, bee(r)s and even diet pepsi, for those ghoulies watching their heaviness. Have a spooky ball, and the Weird Sisters will give you all a head splitting tune!
Gotta love the pillowcase ghost, cute little dickens.
I liked the all around meter of this piece and the understatement, not the full-fledged screaming shrieks usually found around this time of the year. Classy.
thanks ๐ welcome to the party, Jerry.. writing about your halloween? do share that link with us too..
wow,
spooky indeed…
will post one for you tomorrow…
love the creepy feelings your post evokes here.
welcome aboard the party, Jingle..! ๐
