TRICK OR TREAT
Cool, dry, autumn moon dotted with craters, a perfect night
Witches glide their brooms while chortling in flight
Sidewalks filled with goblins, ghouls and menacing black cats
Better beware of the daunting, wicked rats
A perfect ambiance to embrace muted fear
Don’t be afraid sweetheart no need to shed a tear
The doorbell rings the chorus of trick or treats
Fill the baskets with strawberry twizzles, gumballs and toffee sweets
Laugh, giggle and dance home with your bag of pleasure
Hurry, hurry it’s time to devour your Halloween treasure
The most alluring cache are the rainbow shreds
An intriguing mélange of iridescent pinheads
It’s exciting. Now it’s time to try them
A fatal trick. A Fentanyl laced gem
It was the last breath of a young girl’s life
It’s the world we live in. The world of strife
