Let me read (and sing) it to you!.

.

“Someone’s knockin’ at the door…”

 “It’s probably a witch”.

“Halloween was yesterday”.

“No, I mean that scary woman from two doors down. She borrowed our broom on Monday. She’ll have put quite a few flying miles on it!”

“Someone’s ringin’ the bell…” 

“It’ll be carol singers”.

“Christmas isn’t for weeks!”

“Tell the supermarkets that, they already have aisles overflowing with festive fare”.

“Who was that text from?”

“The kids.  They forgot to take their keys and wanted to make sure we weren’t going out. It must be them!” 

“Do me a favour…”

“What?” 

“Open the door and let ‘em in!”

    Hahaha! That was fun, Keith. Of course, I had to hear you sing/read!

      Oh dear, I hope it wasn’t too much of a shock!

      • Dale's avatar Dale November 2, 2023 / 15:37

        Haha! Nah… was great!

        I forgot to say – thank you for letting us weave out tales around your photo!

    Dear Keith,

    Delightful from start to finish. Love your use of the prompt and, as always your reading and now singing. 😀 The video was fun, too.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      As I often say, there really is no end to my talents. Actually, I don’t, but thanks so much, Rochelle!

    Certainly takes us back a few decades 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 16:24

      The bell-bottomed trousers in the video really did for me!

      • granonine's avatar granonine November 3, 2023 / 12:51

        Yes. Along with center-parted looooong hair and headband, and tie-dyed everything. Fashion was so special then 🙂

    Great song Keith. Thanks for singing it too!!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 16:44

      I’m thinking of writing a piece around an operatic aria, just wait til you hear that!

      • Suzette Benjamin's avatar Suzette Benjamin November 2, 2023 / 16:46

        Ah, outstanding! Sing on, Keith!!

    That’s the ear-worm for tonight sorted then. Nice one Keith.

    Don’t open the door. It’ll be kids demanding bon bons with menaces. And that’s not even a British tradition. Stand up for our culture and tell the little blighters to leave it out

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 16:46

      Here here! Halloween is fast overtaking Guy Fawkes Night, a truly British tradition!

    Hahahaha

    Keith, I always enjoy your creativity. Love how you mixed this delightful brew/glogg up.

      • msjadeli's avatar msjadeli November 2, 2023 / 20:44

    I really enjoyed listening to your story, Keith. A great mix of song and dialogue and voices!! 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 17:07

      What more could I have hoped for? Thanks, Brenda.

  12. plaridel's avatar plaridel November 2, 2023 / 05:31

    writing and singing at your best. well done. 🙂

  13. Tannille's avatar Tannille November 2, 2023 / 12:24

    Christmas gear comes earlier and earlier. Can we just get through Halloween? Great dialogue.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 17:16

      It does. It wouldn’t surprise me if Easter eggs were to appear next week!

      • Tannille's avatar Tannille November 3, 2023 / 06:07

        We had a supermarket bring out Easer stuff on boxing day one year. The backlash was intense.

  14. Bill's avatar Bill November 2, 2023 / 16:11

    A refreshing read, Keith. Cleverly done. 🙂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 2, 2023 / 17:19

      Thanks, Bill, I wasn’t sure it would have the desired effect!

      • Bill's avatar Bill November 3, 2023 / 03:11

    Very clever, Dear Keith! Well done use of songs. I always love hearing your stories!

  17. Margaret's avatar Margaret November 4, 2023 / 05:44

    Not the neighbourhood witch, not carol singers, just their kids trying to get their attention. Very funny. Great storytelling (and singing).

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 5, 2023 / 17:48

      Thanks, Margaret. Great singing? I take that as a compliment!
