is it halloween yet?

As I passed I heard a voice
Or a noise that seemed to mutter
"Can you help me? Please." (with a stutter)
"I want to be in movies.
Can't you see me there?
Honest I wouldn't turn a hair
I could play it straight or for laughter
Opposite (please) Helena Bonham Carter
Of course Tim would have to direct
It's his type of film I most respect."
And then it rattled in the dark
Raised stalky arms and grinned
A grin so grimly stark
I wish my memory was dimmed
And that I could forget
This curious evening tete a tete

remains of the day
