It is Halloween, after all.

The Ballad of Tam Lin

1. O I forbid you, maidens a',
That wear gowd on your hair,
To come or gae by Carterhaugh,
For young Tam Lin is there.

2. There's nane that gaes by Carterhaugh
But they leave him a wad,
Either their rings, or green mantles,
Or else their maidenhead.

3. Janet has kilted her green kirtle
A little aboon her knee,
And she has broded her yellow hair
A little aboon her bree,
And she's awa to Carterhaugh
As fast as she can hie.

Also, one of my co-workers is wearing a spot-on Mugatu costume. It is welcome silliness. As for me, I at least have a reason to look like roadkill today. I'm death. Which basically consists of a black hooded shirt. Don't fear the reaper. She has candy.

Just dropping a note to say that deliriouscat is the best ever. Seriously, I really am so glad to have her back in my life. I was down earlier, and she came to the rescue with Butterfingers, and we had tea and watched a zombie flick. Halloween turned out okay after all.
