"There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I shall indulge the other..."

The game had been disbanded,
My mind has been expa-anded,
It's a gas that Frankie's landed,
His lust is so sincere…

Kicking off #Hooptober with a revisit of James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Because yes, it's #FrankensteinDay too 💚

There once was a Cat named Stitches,
With fur patched in odd little niches.
He’d spark in the night,
Make doggies take flight,
And nap on his bed full of switches!
