ON HALLOWE'EN

On Hallowe'en I saw a sight

two mothers with daughters of the night

in supermarket skeleton clothes

all breathless with excitement there

and in my headlights as I passed

they gave their elemental game away

no element of surprise you see

 

A conformity of plan no doubt

to wake the dead not yet entombed

and offer them some ghastly deal

invigorated by the seventh seal

and raise nocturnal hue and cry

while yet their youth so well preserved

brought forth some joy

so well deserved. 

 

Amen
