WEREWOLVES OF SELBY

entry picture

I'm afraid the werewolf I got to do the howling had a bit of a sore throat.

 

I was walking by the cut in West Haddlesey

I saw 2 pairs of red eyes staring straight at me

The moon was bright and full.  What could they be?

 

I’ve read about that stuff that goes bump in the night

And things that aren’t quite dead with a niche appetite

Whose smile is enough to give a dentist a fright

 

Ow-oooooo.  Werewolves of Selby

Ow-oooooo.

Ow-oooooo. Werewolves of Selby

Ow-oooooo.

 

Lon Chaney, Boris Karloff - they are both much the same

And others of that genre of a similar vein

I find them all to be such a pain in the neck

I like my ogres green and friendly like Shrek.

 

Ow-oooooo.  Werewolves of Selby

 

Then one set of eyes made a low guttural growl

The other called its mate with a blood-curdling howl

The fog swirled all around with a fetor most foul

Their eyes encircled me in a threatening prowl

 

Ow-oooooo.  Werewolves of Selby

 

Then slowly they appeared emerging out of the mist

Not two wolves at all but two exhibitionists

“Want some fun with my wife?” asks one naked hedonist.

 

Ow-oooooo.  Doggers of Selby

Ow-oooooo.

Ow-oooooo.  Doggers of Selby

Ow-oooooo.

When the swing bridge was a toll bridge until a few years ago, MC, many a motorist considered Selby a kind of hell.

Ow-ooooo -
You could always form a group and call it "The Rolling Bones" (formed in your own 60s )..
If they ask me where hell be,
I'll merely say "Selby"!

It all happens here, Stephen.
NFN, Paul? Not quite; they weren’t related.
And thanks for the Like, Zushka.

Wow! I think I'll stay in my bunker! Selby sounds too racy. As for Norfolk, think Alan Partridge and the farmers.......

Shame you moved on, Greg. You could have scooped the story of a bloke who was recently seen in our village having oral sex performed on him by a cow.

I don't think dogging was yet a thing during my one-year stint as a district reporter in Selby in the 70s. But I'm sure there were a few werewolves about ... I didn't tend to hang about after the end of the district council planning meetings, and high-tailed it back to York ...
