The Human Canvas - 'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas...

  

 'Twas the Nightmare before Christmas

And all through the cave

Not a creature was stirring

Well, 'cept me and Lil' Dave.

Going out for some music

Certainly - not Ellington

So we started with art

And a stab at Jack Skellington

The colors for the Moon

Just give 'em a swirl

Now making it familiar

A simple bit of a curl

Not quite alone

Dave's lap made a pillow

For the ornery, and clueless

Yet still loving Willow

A tattoo he really wants

So this fit the bill

Ya start with a moon

Then just add a curly hill

Now at the end was a smudge

Bugged me. TO my bones

Eh, just work with it, man

Make it tombstones

And after the tombstones

We couldn't really dally

The only things missing

Jack Skellington and Sally

SOOooooooo.....

Lil' Dave liked it

Me - I couldn't stop grumbling

But then it hit me - I needed

To have that earth beneath crumbling

Later we saw some guy

Had this for a REAL tattoo

I'm not shy. 'Twas a photo-op

For not one pic but two

So - Dave's pics get recognized

It happens everytime

Whether 'tis Jack, or Alice

Or something COMPLETELY Sublime.

Thanks Dave!
