Mum theorises that any kids must be avoiding houses without decorations, due to this being a bungalow estate, mostly full of old grumpy folk who might yell at the kids for disturbing them whilst they're watching their soaps.
There are a fair number of houses with decor around here, much more than we used to see in our old neighbourhood. Even our next door neighbour's put up one of those giant spider-web things out the front of their house.
And yet...
.. The silence..
On the plus side, Sweeties!!! \o/yeay\o/
Meanwhile...
Yesterday was mostly spent chilling out. Me and Mum sat watching an alarming amount of telly, yesterday, which really isn't like us at all. Deal or No Deal, Flog It, House of Games, Emmerdale, Martin Lewis' Money whatever-it's-called.. We sat watching hours of "none-event" TV, quizzes, soaps, stuff like that.
I really should've been doing something (anything!) productive, but the fact that we'd been in the bungalow for a year, yesterday, seemed to tire us out completely.
Or maybe we just wanted to stop, relax, chill, give up, die....
Oh, what a year it's been.
Happy November.
(Oh god, there's only a month left to do the Typing Tutor!!!)
[verse]
Nobody came for Halloween, last night.
No treats were dished out, nor were the tricks.
Perhaps all the children had stayed inside their homes,
Watching endless movies and shows on Netflix.
[chorus]
Where did all the magic go?
No ghosts or witches were on show.
The sound of rustling leaves was heard,
On empty streets, it's quite absurd.
[break]
[verse]
Perhaps next year the children will return,
And all the festive lanterns will then burn,
For now I suppose we'll just eat all the sweets,
Cos there were no kids came for Trick or Treat.
[chorus]
Where did all the magic go?
No ghosts or witches were on show.
The sound of rustling leaves was heard,
On empty streets, it's quite absurd.
[Green walks in to find Dave struggling with an enormous white rabbit statue]
Green: Oh no..
Dave: It's the first of the month!
Green: I can see that.
Dave: First rabbit for the Bunker!
Green: You're just sticking to the statue, though, right?
Dave: You never know!
Green: I really don't.
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Main Area
[Dave is positioning the rabbit to face the entrance]
Dave: It's just some company for the first day of each month, Greenie. You don't have to worry.
Green: With you, I always have to worry.
Dave: Besides, it's less dangerous than Andy with his baseball bat.
Green: I'm surprised you haven't devised a different animal for every other day of the month.
Dave: ...
Green: Oh no..
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's Bunker - Computer Room
[Dave is at his cola-branded PC while Green drinks tea]
Dave: What do you think about "Twenty-Three, Giant Bee"
Green: They don't all have to rhyme, Dave. "Seven, Hamster" didn't rhyme.
Dave: Sure it does. .. Seven... Hamster! How is that not rhyming?
Green: .. By not rhyming..?
[A loud thump from outside]
Green: What the hell was that?
[Dave investigates]
Dave: The rabbit fell over.
Green: Thank goodness it's not the twelfth or all the lemmings would've scattered all over the place.
Dave: I'm going to have to find a good place to buy all these, now, aren't I?
Green: You don't have to buy them, Dave. You don't HAVE to do anything!
Dave: But how could I not, Greenie? I can't wait until Gopher day!!!
