Stick with What Ya Know

I'm thinking I'll go as Frankenstein's Monster

for Halloween this year,

since there's barely any prep work involved.

I'm sullen and dark,

I have a big-ass forehead you can

show a movie on,

my body is precariously pieced together

and definitely doesn't match up,

due to back and hip problems

I stumble more than I walk,

everyone steers clear of me

due to projections and misunderstandings,

and due to this bronchial

'walking crud' I've had for the last month,

I sound like ol' 'Frankie' here--

every time I breathe I clear my throat like

a professional librarian.

"Urrrghhh! Aheckkk! Ughhhngh!"

Hey, play to your strengths!
First rule of the stage.
