Halloween Themes

Kathleen goes berserk writing limerick poems about haunted houses, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and graveyards. Indeed, she is in a veritable fit of alliteration, which she has been asked to control for while it may be a good writing tool, it is not funny poetry, humorous verse, nor even the humourous poems preferred by Canadians.

On Halloween night we will greet
The small fry who cry, "Trick or Treat!"
They're as cute as can be
As they beg hopefully
Hope you bought enough candy to eat.

Molly, on the other hand, is in a dither. It is time to carve the jack-o-lantern, place the die-cut spiders and bats upon the pub's walls, and find the witch costume with the pointy hat, and anything else in the basement suiting Halloween themes. She would like to have everything ready for the little beggars sooner rather than later, but past experience proves that should those chocolates be purchased early they will, regrettably, be consumed early, and shall require replacement at the eleventh hour.

There was a time, in her fit and fiber days, when she handed out fruit, but unfortunately, times have changed and the parents look askance at those objects which might harbor a razor, and not Occam's exalted one at that.

Halloween themes are amusing, as well as many other holidays, which we hope to address, by and by, as the seasons change. Visit often while you hoist a pint on Father's Day, toast your mither on Mother's Day or wassail on Christmas.

St. Patrick's Day will be a blow-out at the pub, limericks being our wont. We pack the customers in like sardines, and the beer is green, and remarkably, EVERYBODY is Irish, even the French.

Furthermore, this will be the place to be on Bloom's Day! Limerick poems shall abound at Molly's Pub. Read your Ulysses early to catch the poetic references as we honor that great author, that beloved Son of Ireland, that irascible and complex writer, the witty and wonderful James Joyce. Howsomever, let us control our wild enthusiasm for June 16 is yet a long way off. Please begin early, for the book is well-nigh incomprehensible the first time through. Additionally, while you are in your plush leather chair with the good light over your left shoulder, consider a romp through Homer's Odyssey.

It is good for you, for it speaks to Cultural Literacy. Shall we leave Halloween themes?
