Ghoulish faces in the dark
trick or treat?
fireworks what a lark,
dogs that bark
cats that howl
the reaper comes to disembowel.

Halloween,
last year you should have seen what fun that some of us boys engineered, pumpkin eyes on scarecrows tied to roman candles, we flew them through the sky, ate the pumpkin pie, treats and sweets and tricks galore, we always wanted more and more.

But last year was the last year passed the point of shed a tear for trick no treat for me, she said, no more fun and games for you,
it's time to take responsibility for what you do,
I see, said I, no more pumpkin pie or eye or scarecrows flying through the sky,
I lie
of course I'm going trick and treating eating sweets and three sheets to the wind down at the dog and duck I'll pick up the pluck to phone her and with my fingers crossed and one more double whiskey tossed down deep
she'll answer and I'll keep it low, tell here where to go and then regret it instantly,
no more Halloween for me.
