Something Wicked This Way Comes . . . .

A  bat-winged 1959 Chevrolet wagon is a perfect part of this Halloween scene !  

Double, double...toil and trouble

Eyeballs burn and vision doubles

Clashing shades of green and pink

Painter John...does he not think? 

With wing of bat and eyes of cat

This stylish Chev should be top hat

Lounge Lizards group to form a line

To cruise the town in a ride so fine

But as the Chev comes into view

The Lizards gag and begin to spew

They claw their eyes and flee the scene

Oh the humanity...it's  pink and green!

Now that's scary!

Oh nuts, Graeme. I totally forgot  -  it's only 4 short days to Halloween! Does anyone know where I can get a quart of "Eye of Newt"??

Your local owlet's wing and toe of frog supplier should be able to help. Or maybe Walmart? You can usually find all kinds of shit in there.

ROTFLMAO!  I'll try Wal-Mart, then maybe McDonald's!

The enormity of this man’s poetic achievement almost beggars belief, until we remember  - not that we are ever allowed to forget - that he once rocked the academic establishment with his unprecedented feat of maintaining a relentless year-on-year improvement in his educational attainment scores over a vast time-scale of 12 years, when most of his contemporaries hit their limit in just 7 short years.  In the circumstances, we could not expect anything less from him. (We might HOPE for it, but we can’t expect it.)

I am not sure what I am more impressed with; Jack’s poetry skills or Graeme’s creative writing skills.

@ed-davis I don't think Graeme's outstanding *doctorate level writing skills deserve that comparison......  

*Dr. Seuss

@ed-davis Ed; don't be overly impressed; I stole line one and the basic structure from some long dead poet guy who was into Hallows Even and had a witch fetish.  Might have even been Edgar Alan Poem....not sure.

Sorry Tony but my dog Otis got into all the Eye Of Newt that I had left.  He seems okay but slides around on his belly now and is cold to the touch....what's up with that?  I do have several grams of powdered toad testicles I'm not using in my Hallowe'en treats recipe this year, if that would be of interest as an alternative.  Let me know....I'll FEDEX it.

Thank you Jack; awfully kind of you. Most of my recipes, save for one, do not call for powdered toad nuts, but this time of year, Eye of Newt.

Just so happened, I ran into a restaurant that's flush with the stuff! They even serve it up as a main course with sides of the crazy stuff.

Thank you gentlemen for the entertainment. Great way to start the week.
