Happy Halloween '08

Due to outrageous demand, here is my famous -- or infamous! -- Halloween poem once again. Originally published 8 years ago:

O Mighty Demon!

Let I worship thee!
On thy hand and knee!
I worship thee!
O Mighty Demon!

O Mighty Red Devil!
With tail of thorn!
With beak of ivory!
With soul of Black Death!
I worship thee!
O Mighty Demon!

Can I interest anyone in some Halloween Nog?
A sprinkle of... nutmeg?
See you soon!

Also, a photo of Mr C in this year's costume:

"We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?" -- Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

* A week ago, my sister found an old reel of film and finally had it developed. One of the more fantastic pix was this oddball shot of our parents -- crazier than they'd ever have hoped to have appeared.
