The neighbor’s goulash party was a yearly hit,
but as the new guy on the block, he’d never been to it.
And though he was a clothes horse—stylish, svelt and cool,
he wasn’t very good at spelling, as a rule.
So when he was invited for a goulash blast,
he didn’t know the party was for a mere repast.
Now here he was, dressed in his sheet, feeling pretty foolish
when no other party-goers showed up looking ghoulish.
The prompt today was ghoulish.
We almost stopped to pick up this hitchhiking apparition, but my driver lost his nerve at the last minute. I was looking forward to the ghost stories, but oh, well. Perhaps it got a ride with a sheetmetal truck or a sghoulbus!
Addendum: Since posting this photo, all sorts of strange things have been happening. First of all, after I put it on my desktop, when I tried to access it to reduce the size and use the color edit tool, I was told I didn’t have permission to view it and had to go through all sorts of rituals including rebooting to be get access.
Then, once in my media file and on my posted blog, suddenly WP would let me view my post in edit mode only, and the permalink didn’t work. Eventually, I got access to the URL by viewing it in Reader and copying the URL to send Jennifer a pingback.
Now I am sure that we did indeed pick up this hitchhiker who is residing in my MacBook Air. I am hoping on November 2, she will again be on her way—doomed to wander the backroads of this world forever. Don’t you love her shoulder pads and tiara???
