Whispered glee at the candy bleeding into
the mindless one, from cauldrons swirling
In wrapped confection. a dancing skeleton
Singing "I ant got no body, heard from
Down the spooktacular street.

"A spoonful of sugar a ghostly chant,
" Candy with no body, no sins charged to eat,

The owl with eyes wide open swoops unseen,
Its talons take a chocolate mouse fallen from
A sack or two nibbled to freedom now ingested
All that is noticed is a single feather of the street.

"Trick Or Treat,
"Your soul we'll eat,
"Be it sugary, be it sweet,
"We'll eat our fill on this hallows eve,


Jack-o'-lantern with eyes a glow, with each sweet
Delight you hear a cackle and glow, as an empty
Head gets fuller, this ghostly candy of sugar, melted
On orange skin, a face of fright now sugared glow.

Many tales told on this night, but when that
Door beckons a call, remember these words

"Trick or treat, penny or a sweet,

Be it cane or be it gold, be it silver or be it cold.
Let the ghouls have their fun, for soon the clock
Will turn and all the chocolate will be gone to eat.
