Digital Demons: A Halloween Story.............by Bob Couser

Twas late October, on a scary Night,
In Aberdeen, if I recall it Right,
I was younger then, about Seventeen,
Dragging North Main, not looking Mean

Crossed the tracks near Milwaukee Depot,
My car leaked oil like an Old Repo,
By Piggly Wiggly, a green headed Beast, Quite Scary!
A second look, I knew it was Terry!

At 2nd Ave, I smelled an Aroma,
Saw a Dark Figure, like a Scotoma,
Dressed as Mr. Reaper, first name Grim 
A second look, I knew it was Tim!

Passed 3rd Ave and Aldrich Park,
Driving on in my black Skylark,
At 4th Ave, a WITCH!, am I in Peril?
A second look, I knew it was Carole! 

CAROLE The Hag  1966

Drove by the old North Fire Station,
I looked closer, I saw a Dalmatian,
On the ladder, a Werewolf! near the Top Story,
A second look, I knew it was Rory!

Finally made Scotty’s, at 8th & Main,
I parked my car to rest my Brain,
Out there, a Vampire, my heart’s a Throb!
A second look, I knew it was Bob!

Well, after all, it was Halloween,

A time for fun, let’s make the scene,

For Class of ’66, about 50 years later,

Time for treats, less time for Satyr!

The Digital Demons don't wish ill will,
A little fright? YES! or a slight chill,
Let's take time to celebrate the season,
At our age, we have a just reason!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO CLASS OF '66
