Trick
Or Treat
Is that a
poltergeist I
hear
come rapping at
my door?
No, just a
little ghost
with sack,
some candy to
implore.
What fun it is
to watch the
kids
on every
Halloween
as they come
prancing to my
door,
a most
delightful
scene.
There's Bill and
Sue from down
the street,
decked out as
cat and mouse,
and here comes
Johnny as the
Count;
he's headed to
my house.
The goody bowl
is in the hall,
piled to the
brim with candy,
and if by chance
the bowl runs
out,
there's more
that I have
handy.
So I will don my
witch's hat,
pass out the
treats with
zeal,
and when I take
my partial out
they'll think
that I am real!
