Wake up folks!
Dust off the broomsticks, sharpen up the scythes on the chariots. Look out your handcuffs. Brush up the banners

WATCH OUT WORLD

"On Hallowmass eve ere ye gang ye to rest,
Ever beware that your couch be blessed.
Sign it with cross, and sign it with bead,
Sing the Ave and say the creed.

For on Hallowmass eve the Night Hag will ride
With all her ninefold sweeping on by her side..." (The Lykewake Dirge)

Do you think she was on her way to a GN party?

M&S are buried near the loo in case they get the Trotskys.

AlieOxon Mon 08-Oct-12 08:42:08

Whooo....we'll be Night Hags!

I have a pic of my friend's daughter at 5 - sitting on Marx's grave.

I shall get Duncan to dig up Marx and we could have a question and answer session.

just found this:

Green cats eyes
in midnight gloom
fly with the witch
on her ragged broom
over dark hills where
bonfires loom
