Though, since that Halloween, it has been some time
old friends still seem to have it fresh on their minds
can't say I blame them, it's a hard one to forget.
one of embarrassment, to this day I am forced to regret.
I lived in Monterey, was going to college
After some time, a close circle of friends had formed
students, locals and couples whose friendships had warmed
we partied and cried together and became a close knit lot
had some of the best times of my life, most I never forgot.
I remember once, me, and my then future wife, were late
arriving at a party of close friends, sexually straight
much to our surprise, they were all dancing in the nude
though out of the norm, we could hardly stay dressed
It would have been rude.
So come Halloween, having been invited to a party of friends
I decided not to wear my regular Yule Gibbons costume again
Plaid shirt, Levis and carrying a box of grape nuts was out
I figured I'd wear something new the gang could laugh about
At the last minute the location of the party was changed
thinking it would still be the same, I must of been deranged
Everyone wearing $200 dollar a night rental costumes, butler at the door
the party in prestigious Carmel Valley, had a hundred people or more.
Everyone was a stranger except maybe three people I knew
suddenly after one drink, there was only one thing to do
RUN! and run I did, right out the door, in my car and drove away
You'd think that would be the end, but for me, no way.
I looked in my rear view mirror and there's a red light
Sheriffs pulled me over and had me step out into the night
I thought for sure, 'when these guys stop laughing', they'd let me go
try a straight line wearing a knit hat, bib and diapers, walking heal to toe
sheriffs laughing, passing cars horns blowing
"dwuck dwiving in diapers," was nothing where I was going
try being a 230 pound man, with 22 inch arms in the jails holding tank
wearing knit baby hat, bib and diapers with, "BABY HUEY" printed on your flank.
You get one phone call, who would you call for help????
As the hours past the tank filled with drunks wearing costumes
I was fit to be tied and just when I thought it couldn't get worse
In comes Yule Gibbons in Levis, holding a box of grape nuts, wearing a plaid shirt
I don't know what got into me, I lost all control, but those grape nuts were mine.
All hell broke loose, I started a riot,...(suddenly there was no time to rhyme)@#@!*+#@!!
The three little pigs had the wolf on the floor
Mr. Magoo was trying to find the door
Sylvester the cat running from Goofy and Pluto
Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd stood toe to toe
Deputy Dog was trying to get Dumbo to fly
Batman and Robin began to cry
and when it was all over the fucking grape nuts were mine!!!
"But, your honor, I can explain," (well that's a whole nother story...)
Author notes
Option #4: make me laugh
I hope this does.
with the exception of a few(but not all) added characters in the holding tank, this is a true story. Probably the most memorable Halloween I ever had.

Probably one of the funniest things I've ever read, even more so since it was true. A perfect example of 'truth is stranger than fiction', and I can't honestly imagine anyone being able to make this one up. More than a few laughs from this one.

oops...I forgot the applause
reenie
-
thank you for the laughter
you wrote in a way that formed a very good visual for this reader. May I suggest though that maybe you change the presentation just a bit. As this is more of a story than a poem....maybe the line breaks could be in different places? sort of as if reading a story/article???? <----just a suggestion
reenie

LMAO now this is just the picture i dont need burnt into my retinas HH just fix it in my mind whenever i think of you rowing that boat you do have a talent as is seen and can spin a real good story...
