30 October 2019 – Almost upon us, and the signs & portents are everywhere.
A ghost horse in my latte at a neighbourhood cafĂ© …
an elegant jack-o’-lantern atop a townhouse staircase …
and a boring joke bill on a bus stop pillar, enlivened only by the play on words …
that has nothing to do with Hallowe’en …
until you read the fine print.
(I will point out they missed the apostrophe, and then I will stop being a grump.)
