On Halloween

On Halloween

 

Goblins and ghosts trick-or-treated

Excitedly at our place

And others wanted candy too

With a sweet tooth to sate

 

Chocolate was the favorite treat

Of the candy we handed out

And the spooks ate the sweets

With gobs in their mouths

 

Some characters went home early

As if they had the flu

Though eating too much candy

More likely changed their hue

 

For others the candy was fine

And really was a treat

With a few giving some

To those with no sweets   

 

Costumes were stored away

To be seen again next year

With the little kids

Cute and hardly feared
