Halloween
.
I thought it might be fun to write a poem on Halloween night,
While handing out candy as the little monsters give me a fright.
Here’s the account of things that I wrote down as it occurred.
With nothing that happened that night left out or even deferred.

Halloween
.
Tonight it’s Halloween and I’ve got on my bat costume to set the mood
I put on some eerie music with witch laughs and screams so crude,
I’ve bought all kinds of candy to hand out to the witches and ghouls,
They are always so scary with noses that run and lips that drool.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My first trick or treater just rang the doorbell so I answered the door,
There was a scraggly looking girl there and her face had sores.
I asked what she was and she told me that she was a walking dead,
This blew my mind as I thought, has TV ruined the kids heads?
.
.
.
.
.
.
I just looked at the houses up and down the streets around here.
Our house had the front porch light lit and rest were dark I fear.
Are people here too cheap to hand out candy to kids these days?
Or did the city stop trick or treating for the kids as a safety craze?
.
.
.
It’s been an hour since the only trick or treater was at the door,
And It is beginning to look now like there won’t be anymore.
It rained and was cold last night so perhaps it scared them away,
Last year I remember that I gave 20 bags of candy away that day.
.
.
.
Well hallelujah, I had another fine young man here for his treat,
He was Michael Angelo Ninja Turtle with funny shoes on his feet,
What happened to Spider-Man and Ironman costumes so fine.
I guess the kids these days like to define their own special line.
.

A young lady vampire just came to the door looking so scary,
She had long white fangs in a black dress, a very dark fairy.
It looks like the action has picked up in the last few minutes.
I just wonder what else this dark Halloween night might send us.
.
.
.
.
.
..
It’s been another thirty minutes and I haven’t seen another soul.
If more don’t come soon, Pam’s going to have to add to her fat roll,
As I can’t eat sweets much anymore or I get high blood sugar.
Not eating the good stuff is sometimes a real wooly booger.
.
.
.
I’m sitting in an easy chair in the living room watching the World Series.
NY Mets are up 2 to 1 over Kansas City in the sixth, it’s just so eerie.
Whoops, the Mets just hit a single homerun and the score is now 3 to 1.
My Royals are going to have get busy as they are now under the gun.
.
.
.
I just had a new girl vampire and a Paw Patrol guy looking for a tree.
I think I have kind of gotten out of touch as no cartoons I do see.
Wow, I just had a Dangel and a Metal Hud such strange ladies,
A Dangel is a half Devil half Angel, doesn’t that sound a little shady.
.
.
.
.
.
.
They’re coming so fast now that I just can’t keep track anymore,
It makes me wonder what next Halloween might have in store,
Oh Pam, I think you don’t have to worry about that roll anymore,
As many bags of candy are now flowing right out our front door.
.

Earlier in the evening before it got dark, my grandchildren came.
Sarah was Dorothy from “Wizard Of Oz” and Todo was her dog’s name.
Ben was a SWAT team officer with a rifle and a badge for his ID.
They both looked so good and were just as cute as they could be.
.
Ben and Sarah looking good.
