Halloween, Oh Halloween

Halloween, Oh Halloween

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

It’s that special time of year again

So come as your not…

 

you can go with tradition

And be a haunting ghost

To hide from those demons

For one brief moment.

 

Go as that princess

You’ve always dreamed of being

So you can captivate Prince Charming

That’s also at the party…

 

Just remembering

He’s also in disguise.

 

Step into the limelight

As your favorite celebrity

And pretend this gathering

Is the Oscars or Grammys.

 

The Choices are endless if you like

To give a good fright,

Like a witch or vampire

And if you enjoy electricity

How bout Frankenstein.

 

But for a really good scare

There’s an endless array of politicians

To make your agenda clear.

 

Halloween, oh Halloween

How I love thee

For it is the one day a year

It’s acceptable to not be you.

Humor hides several pointed barb, I like watching the unthinking snag themselves.
I guess I have a warped mind, I once went to a Halloe E'en party as a "Dear John" letter, dressed as a toliet with a letter taped to the tank--told ya', warped mind.

Thank you, and same to you Jazzy xo
This is great, Dale - Halloween's time-honored tradition of being someone else, with a philosophical twist.

So you can captivate Prince Charming
That’s also at the party…
Just remembering
He’s also in disguise...

Thank you very much Rita, just having some Halloween fun.
Great way to capture this time of year, where everyone can wear a mask and be who they wish. Easy to hide behind masks the rest of the year, but this one time, everyone wants everyone else to. So easy to blend in. Great write Dale!

Thank you... you make a good point.
I like how this post travels, how it turns up the corners of each line, nudges a few who deserve to be nudged and then ends with a cheer - yay!

Hmn, think this needs re-reading, tis food for thought, Dale. :)

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
