I Know A Young Lady Called Moore
I know a young lady called Moore
Who’s demeanour is thought demure.
We met last night
By the moon’s bright light
And now I’m not so sure …
The Ghoul Frightened Him, He Said
The ghoul frightened him, he said,
Although she was pretty
If seen
Behind the Halloween
Makeup.
I may try
To be witty
But I can not deny
That she and I
Will die

Today is Author’s Day
On local radio today I learned that November 1st is National Author’s Day, https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/authors-day/. I must confess to not having heard of this celebration until early this morning and being intrigued did a little digging which turned up the above link.
From the above, it appears that Author’s Day is an American celebration (it was certainly started in the USA). However given that it was mentioned on a (UK) local radio station, this celebration would appear to have cro...

There Once Was A Ghastly Ghoul
There once was a ghastly ghoul
Who went to a Halloween school.
But when he got there
A young lady named Claire
Said, “Halloween is over you fool!”.
A Witchcraft Tour of England #Halloween #witches
A fascinating post. I do wonder whether Matthew Hopkins, the Witch Finder General, really believed that the witches he “found” where (in truth) witches, or did he simply jump on a lucrative bandwagon? There is of course, at this distance in time no way of knowing.

England has a long and varied history of witchcraft. As a tra...

When a young lady who’s name is Lou
Lost her party shoe,
‘Twas on the night of Halloween
When, all unseen
I stole that shoe of Lou …
I Once Met A Vampire Called Beth
I once met a vampire called Beth
Who half frightened me to death.
A ghoul named Keith
Refused to clean his teeth
So he never got to dance with Beth.

My Date
Her name was Lin.
She was petite and slim
With long, black hair.
Just for a dare
I asked her
To dance.
She did sway
In a most peculiar way.
In search of romance

As my black

But hold on there
I have no cat, either white or black,
And Lin I haven’t seen
Since the night of Halloween …
When A Respectable Gentleman Called White
When a respectable gentleman called White
Paused by a winking red light
A young lady named Hall
Said, “how angels do fall
And the sky it is starry tonight”.

Early Morning Humour
When a young lady who’s name was Lou
Lost her party shoe
A girl called Anne
Lent her a frying pan
Which she wore instead of a shoe.

A talented young lady called Rose
Decided a poem to compose.
She wrote it all down
And a jolly old clown
Tattooed it right there on his nose.

When a talented young lady called Rose
Decided a poem to compose
A vicar named Night
Smiled with delight
And went in search of his clothes …
