HALLOWEEN HIGHLIGHTED

HALLOWEEN HIGHLIGHTED

–

The candy was in display,

A little past June, you say?…

Now in full gear,

Retailers fear

Sales are slipping away?

–

Hung skeletons in hoodies,

Protect potential goodies…

Hanging in air–

No one is scared–

Not even afraid of cooties!

–

In this residence folks choose

If they want kids let loose…

To knock on their doors,

For candy stores

That could rot teeth till loose!

–

My wife and I don’t,

With scary things we can’t cope…

And left-over sweets

Affect eats,

Diabetics hang with their own “rope!”

MERMAID FANCIES

MERMAID FANCIES

–

Far from a mere manatee

Mermaids appeal endlessly…

To men on the waves

That sanity saves

Providing female fantasy.

–

‘Though the style was once more obese,

The interest of this kind never ceased…

Adolescents too

Experience anew

What helped sailors find some piece.

–

He remembered a fantasy groovy

Influenced by a W.C. Fields movie….

With a voluptuous vamp

Disturbing the camp

Of Olympian athletes moody.

–

Combined with a mermaid slinky

His adolescent mind edged toward kinky…

It wasn’t X-rated

But clearly demonstrated

His fantasy required some hard thinking.
