They always said I was over the edge
And now I am, I really am, I am over the edge:
But as I dropped in a gasp I grabbed a branch
And hoped it had roots in the rock
Or rock solid roots
There's a breeze blowing
A stunning storm coming

Skeleton boy wanted to dress as a witch for Halloween this year. He would go to the devils house first, as he had heard this was where the the most tempting treats were handed out.
Happy Halloween!
In his first years of curated limelight
Balletic reverence and telarian tears
Bathed in applause for a plausible night
He glances side stage at me and sneers
