    "a bit" is an understatement...

    I like to post this every Halloween!!


    Once upon an olden time and in a far off land
    A castle stood above a town, mysterious and grand
    Though locals spoke about the place, down in the town below
    'Twas gossip and just rumours, for the townsfolk didn't know.

    But in that towering castle, kept away from mortal men
    A vampire count lived peacefully and did not bother them
    For he was not inclined to all the usual vampire labours
    And did not think it sociable to snack upon the neighbours.
    Instead, so that the villagers enjoyed a peaceful sleep,

    The count would, nightly, drink his fill from off the local sheep.

    But many plans gang aft agley, as Burns chose to remark
    And so it was one fateful night of strangeness after dark
    A poacher out at midnight looking upwards saw on high
    A swarm of woolly bats which flew across the moonlit sky.

    Perhaps there's rules to say how large a vampire flock must be
    Though why they waited till that night is still a mystery.
    But, blood-thirsty, vampire sheep in bat form took to flight
    Descending on the sleepy town en masse that fateful night.
    The flock of woolly bats came while the village was asleep,
    To land at bedroom windows, where they changed back into sheep.

    The villagers were woken by the sound of breaking glass
    As sheep fell into bedrooms seeking something more than grass
    And broke the night so quiet before with terror and with screams
    As a nightmare came undreamt of in the wildest of their dreams.

    The lady mayor awoke to find a very puzzled ewe
    Trying to discover what a vampire sheep should do
    Whilst villagers in other bedrooms likewise woke and saw
    The vampire sheep discovering their own most vital flaw
    The local population was afflicted by a flood
    Of dentally deficient sheep attempting to draw blood.

    Evolution plays cruel tricks to shape what ought to be
    And vampire sheep are not designed to draw blood dentally
    For all their woolly vampire ways, it still has to be said
    No canine teeth have ever grown inside a woolly head
    It's on this taxonomic point that vampire future hangs
    To effectively draw blood you need well pointed fangs.

    But nothing daunted still those sheep did not think beneath
    Their vampire failure to the fault of blunt grass chewing teeth
    Deciding that perhaps sheepkind would offer better yields
    The vampire flock with one accord all headed for the fields
    Where came the first rays of the dawn to end this chilling rhyme
    And killed the vampire sheep from hell, who could not tell the time.

    -Lee Leon

    I didn't get any trick or treaters here, so will just have to eat all the chocolates and sweeties myself



    I did hear there was 2 small children running about dressed as Chucky and his Bride though I didn't see them, but I do wonder if the children know what chucky is?

    Angie ...
    Pachinkos, Pachislos, Coffee, Papercraft Ninja, Pinball

    I ran away with the Steampunk Circus!
    I was hiding in a room in my mind...
    You crush the lily in my soul...
