Passing Shadows
Things that go ‘bump’ in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It’s the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!
Another Halloween verse is,
From Ghoulies and Ghosties
And Long-legged Beasties
And Things That Go Bump in the Night,
Good Lord, Deliver Us!
which was recorded in The Cornish and West Country Litany, 1926, but is probably from a Scottish source.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
