Timmy Ain’t Got No Body
 
Timmy was a young boy, he had a heart of stone. Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone. (SPOOKY!!!) Just barely out of school, he came from the edge of town and fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down. You know the type:  a lowdown, cheap little punk! Unfortunately, he refused to get glasses, even though he could be classified as legally blind because he thought they’d make him look like a dork, so he walked in front of a bus one day and now (say it with me), Timmy ain’t got no body. In the afterlife, Timmy discovered a pair of Coke bottle glasses. Now he can see and the whole world is beautiful to him. But he’s a ghost – so there’s that.
 
Check back here every day until Halloween for more unspeakable playthings!
