Every year
the same deal
treats
obtained too early
under the
seasonally seductive
store lights  
nestled  next
to  the fake fall foliage
become mysteriously
rerouted  
from their final destination
as intense inspections
conducted
under the guise of
quality control
these  pilfered  provisions
perform a vanishing act
visions of  sad
costumed tots
at the  doorway
with empty bags
hurry a return visit
for rapid  replacements
tragedy narrowly
averted
once
   again
Every year   I buy Halloween candy too early and wind up  noshing on too many...and then have to buy  more  to avert  the disaster  of  running out of candy on  Halloween night ...
I wrote this a few years back , finished it today  !
