Halloween

by Jenni Marie   Oct 18, 2006


Kids are out trick or treating
Each wearing a different mask
To gather lots and lots of candy
Is their simple task.

I can see a vampire and a ghost
a ghoul and a witch
I'm sure the toothache they're bound to get
is gonna hurt like a b i t c h

We're going to kids hyped up on sugar
Who invented this crazy idea?
Halloween should be something
adults have come to fear.

As I'm sitting here in the house
The doorbell suddenly rings
I open up and then
I am confronted by scary things

I pour chocolates in their bowls
fill it up with sweets
wondering how they'd react
if i were to give them fruit as a 'treat.'

I smile to myself
not sure i want to picture the scene
smiling as i imagine the kids
thinking i am really mean.

I head back inside
and wait for the doorbell to ring the next time
It mightn't be a good idea but if it makes the kids happy
then with me it is just fine.

    I really understand what you mean in this poem, halloween has lost its original meaning, you conveyed your words well and it might just be me but some of it made me laugh, well done
