One...
Chorus line of people
Dancing till they make a stop.
Too many dancing people
Covered with blood, gore and glop.
Just
One
Sniff of that fog and you're inside out
It's worse than that flesh-eating virus you've read about

Happy Halloween!

"Anything Can Happen on Halloween"
'The Worst Witch' (1986)

Anything can happen on Halloween
Your dog could turn into a cat
There maybe a toad in your bass guitar
Or your sister could turn into a bat

What should I be?
There's so many sides to me.
I could be an astronaut, a robot, a hobo, a clown,
Or an alien creature goin' out on the town.
What should I be?
It's all up to me.
What should I be?

Halloween is tomorrow, but scary is year round:

People with no care or consideration for spreading a level 3 pathogen.
A government that could care less about hospitals closing and people starving.
Terrorists being pardoned for an insurrection and becoming kidnappers.

It is like driving on the George Washington Bridge in Rhode Island, nobody knows the meaning and traffic flow symbols of stay in your lane including @RIDOT and truckers, who are supposed to stay in the far right lane.
