“Let us pretend that I’m married to you”.

And she said, you are always out drinking!

And at my girlfriends you are forever winking!”.

I said, “Lou, when did I marry you!”

On a Damp and Dark Halloween

On a damp and dark Halloween

I observed a most interesting scene.

The Devil did romance

A demon from France

As the banshee did loudly scream!

Wrapped me up with very thick tape

And posted me

To sunny Dundee,

Where I made a most daring escape!

Who said, “there are many women

Who earn their living through sinning!”.

I once met a friendly old ghost

Who plied me with tea and toast.

When I asked for some jam

He gave me boiled ham.

That ghost was deaf as a post!

When a young lady waving a gun

Said, “are you up for some fun!”.

Having learned not to trifle

With a girl’s big rifle,

Of course I agreed to some fun …!

Fluidity

Whilst visiting a place known as Stonehenge

I met a young lady from Penge.

She was dressed as a Druid

And her identity was somewhat fluid,

And she said she came from Penge …

As I Pondered on the Approaching Halloween

As I pondered on the approaching Halloween

I spied a black cat eating cream.

When I said, “are you magic?”,

He said, “no, but its tragic!

As I’ve eaten all of your cream!”
