My horrific encounter
This week, Adrian would like to celebrate Halloween by reading you a a poem
It’s Halloween soon.
So, this week I’ve written a scary poem about a truly horrific encounter I had last year in Cambridge.
You’ll notice that the Halloween theme is actually tenuous, bordering on non-existent, with this entire article hinging on the broad nature of the word ‘horrific’.
But there you go. Enjoy.
