It's officially Halloween here, so I'm doing my traditional posting of this riff on Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

🎶
One by one we bite the dust
Kick the bucket, begin to rust
Give up the ghost when your number's up
We all fall down
Ashes to ashes, bones to paste
You'll wither away in your resting place
Eternity in a wooden case
We all fall down 🎶

Really wish we could see this. Alas, July is the only time we've been able visit the area.
I love Edward Gorey!

Five stars:

The Doubtful Guest by Edward Gorey (1957) is Gorey's third book. It features a bird shaped guest who arrives uninvited and unannounced. The book is a series of stated things the guest does with illustrations of the family they have invaded trying to carry on as if they're not there.

My delightful drawing Dearie, Jon Bean Hastings, has designed a mirthful menagerie in homage to the great Edward Gorey. If you are able please support the project- and get an adorable book out of the deal! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonbeanhastings/the-vexing-menagerie-an-abc-book-of-preposterous-poems?ref=thanks-copy
