October’s back
To haunt once more,
Monsters knocking
On the door…
* * * * *
Trick or treaty…
Listen, sweetie,
Move your feet-y,
Fast and fleet-y,
Trick or treat-y!
* * * * *
Shopping spree…
Mom went on
A shopping spree,
Buying costumes
For children three…
* * * * *
The Chocolate Rule…
School would be awesome
I’m sure you agree,
If instead of grades
They gave out… candy!
* * * * *
No more houses…
Asphalt under
Tired feet,
No more houses
Trick or treat!
* * * * *
Trick or trick…
Oranges, apples
Nuts galore,
Can’t we skip the
Health food store?
* * * * *
Too soon?!?
Put my costume
On in June,
And no, that’s nowhere
Near too soon!
* * * * *
Scary starch…
Little Ghostie
Hands out treats,
Gives the other
Ghouls new sheets!
* * * * *
“You’re safe, Bro!”
Brains are what
Undead adore,
Which is why my
Brother, they ignore!
* * * * *
Get you some!
Now the day,
Has finally come,
For free candy –
Get you some!
* * * * *
Pile on…
Pour my candy
In a pile,
Just to lie on
Top awhile…
* * * * *
That time of year…
Vampire teeth and
Spider rings,
That time of year
For childish things!
* * * * *
Overflowing…
Candy aisles
Overflowing,
Into treat bags
They’ll be going!
* * * * *
Ghosts come a haunting…
Bats in the belfry,
Skeletons clatter,
Ghosts come a haunting,
To see what’s the matter!
* * * * *
Store bought costumes…
I don’t care that
Mom’s not handy.
(Store bought costumes
Get more candy!)
* * * * *
Sewing going…
Mothers sewing
At full speed,
For each child’s
Costume needs…
* * * * *
October 365…
Trick or treating
With my friends,
Hope October
Never ends!
* * * * *
Rise and shine…
Why wait till dark
To go beg for candy,
Trick or treating at sunrise
Would be twice as dandy!
* * * * *
31 Days of Halloween…
No, I do NOT
Think it crazed,
To wear my costume
All 31 days!!
* * * * *
Super powers…
Trick or treat
For six straight hours,
Feels like I have
Super powers!!!
* * * * *
Monster masks…
Rubber faces and
Fake hair,
Monster masks
Designed to scare!
* * * * *
But Mom….
Bite your tongue and
Take it back:
You forgot my
Trick or treat sack?!?!
* * * * *
Cheap costumes…
Moth Woman
And Lizard Thing,
Cheap costumes
From Dollar King!
* * * * *
Who needs feet?!?
Quite a feat,
Ghost’s sheet,
Who needs feet,
To trick or treat?!?
* * * * *
Better… best!
Put your candy,
To the test:
Okay, good,
Better… best!
* * * * *
This Halloween…
I have only
One request,
That this Halloween
Be the best!
* * * * *
Begging for an egging…
Rubber mask,
Upon my face,
Throwing eggs
By the case!
* * * * *
Free TP…
All your candy,
Give to me,
Unless you want
Some free TP!
* * * * *
Sisters three…
Trick or treat
With sisters three,
More for them…
And less for ME!
* * * * *
Costume can’t…
Mask too big and
Cape too long,
My costume is all
Kinds of wrong!
* * * * *
