Ghouls and goblins, dwarves and witches
Scary masks with Einstein stitches
Goblets filled with putrid potions
Sick of Halloween-like notions

Once I turn I groan and see them
Trick-or-treaters causing mayhem
Squealing voices - my head's throbbing
Then the babies start their sobbing

Lock the door and toss the Reese's
Pick up all the costume pieces
With this stress how am I sober
Now I'm dreading next October
