Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #255. The prompt
word is ‘dust’. This is my limerick.
In an old graveyard, haunted by fright
Dancing skeletons come out at night
Their bones made a clatter
Clouds of dust they did scatter
In the moonlight it was the grooviest sight

Who doesn’t want to watch a skeleton dance, especially with this groundbreaking synchronized sound, innovative animation, and playful use of macabre themes. It wouldn’t be Halloween without this, Nance.

A cherished cartoon which I remember from my childhood. Disney was a visionary and obviously had some talented and gifted people working for him. I’m glad you enjoyed it, Jim; it was a pleasure to feature it.
