# ***The twilight clouds went scudding past like witches on their brooms. The sound of laughter filled the night as ghouls departed tombs. "Trick or treat!" resounded as menageries filed by... Filling up their bags with loot while candy stores ran dry. Dentists filled appointments books in brisk anticipation... Knowing that enamel would not stand such laceration. Zombies stagger down the street and vampires trip on capes. Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Frankenstein escapes! Princesses and knights with swords, mummies by the score... Ghosts and goblins saunter by and darkened homes ignore. Masks of every shape and type monsters and the like... Arriving via motor pool on foot, skateboard and bike. Kids of every age invade demanding tribute thus... (Oh dear... here comes another group arriving on a bus.) People donning hobo clothes adorned in eye-holed sheets... Wearing out the doorbells on the darkened, porch lit streets. Jack o lanterns hiss and spit as candles soon expire. Children head back home to count their swag and then retire. At last the tempest peters out. The pageantry is gone. I look out at the candy wrappers littering the lawn. Another Halloween is done. I hope they had their fill. "Trick or treat!" still resonates I hear its echoes still. But... just around the corner as Thanksgiving season nears... We hear the spiels and ads of all the rabid marketeers. Turkeys gobble restlessly at axes sharp and keen... For them... this is a nightmare... just another Halloween.*** #
