   Wow!  Okay, that creeps me out....really nicely.   :)   
   A few years ago, I made a mask of my face and built a life-size, witch with   
   it.  She stands guard at the front door each Halloween, with her cauldron,   
   broom and dancing ghosts.  Sounds like the perfect theme song for her!   :)   
      
   Here's a Halloweeny-one I wrote a couple of years ago for an Irish news   
   group.  The Irish New Year was just after Halloween..... long, long ago.   
   Then they have this whole thing about the "crossroads"....that's carried   
   over into so many bluegrass songs.  Never thought to put it to music.   :)   
      
   CROSSROADS   
   Standing at the crossroads   
      
   Paralyzed by fear   
      
   Neither fall nor winter   
      
   Neither there, nor here   
      
   The brand new year is dawning   
      
   Tomorrow with the sun   
      
   Tonight though, worlds collide   
      
   And the impact leads to fun   
      
   Of an otherwordly nature   
      
   An ethereal charade   
      
   When the spirits of the night   
      
   Come together to parade   
      
   Though most mortals pale and stay indoors   
      
   The children seem to glow   
      
   And cats and dogs will howl away   
      
   The night, as if they know   
      
   That tonight is somehow different   
      
   Than the next one or the last   
      
   And the future is as certain   
      
   As the dimly shadowed past   
      
   When the spirits of the night   
      
   Seemed delighted to step out   
      
   And they'd scare us, near to death   
      
   If we went wandering about   
      
   Or stood too near the crossroads   
      
   Paralyzed by fear   
      
   Neither dreaming nor awake   
      
   At the closing of the year.   
      
   Thanks, for sharing, Mitch!
