Election Day this year is the night of the full moon and I just saw the first wolfsbane flowers in my yard.<\/p>\n

Even a man who’s pure of heart<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

and says his prayers by night<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

and the moon is full and bright<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The damp cool autumnal weather certainly evokes a Halloween mood in my neighborhood.\u00a0 We have our share of \u00a0jack o\u2019lanterns festooning the house and the grandkids are already imagining their trick or treat loot.\u00a0 But this year even Election Day has an unreal flavor to it.\u00a0 Outlandish candidates like Fetterman and that creepy old ghoul haunting the White House add an Edgar Allan Poe tinge to even the political page.<\/p>\n

Now am I claiming that werewolf John Fetterman will be lopsidedly prowling the woods of Pennsylvania in his stretched out hoodie tearing apart innocent Republican voters in his insane lust to become a United States Senator?\u00a0 Well, read the poem and do the math yourself!\u00a0 I’m going to add a little extra garlic to Camera Girl’s sauce this week and hope for the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
