I wish you and yours
candy enough to rot a tooth
and tricks that break funny
bones. I wish myself and mine
little goblins at the doorbell,
masks and enough candy
distributed so the folks
at work do not lose fillings
on November 1st
The hour approacheth but
few give away treats anymore.
The bowl is full and waiting
for the patter of little
monsters and fairy princesses
yelling in chorus against
the cold winds of October.
