One Sketch 361) Things that go bump in the night

I think that everybody
Except the most stupid foolies
Would rather be caught by the ghosties
To being caught by the ghoulies.

One Sketch 360) Weds 20th March - Burghers of Calais

In History, it seems, they have gone down

One Sketch 359 (Tuesday 19th March) Wolf

To domesticate
Any time soon
Keep your pampered pooches
While I howl
At the moon.

No idea what prompted this, but suddenly had a feeling that I wanted to sketch a wolf howling, so here it is.
