To be forewarned is to be forearmed!
Not one of my best, but done quickly ...
See - 'When The Frost Is on the Pumpkin'
or - "Two Ghouls Who Gamboled Late" ...

Treat or Trick?
© - Tom Hyland
When the Hobgoblins are Gobblin’
And your Knees are Wobblin’ -
‘Cause you’re Scared of Ghostly Ghouls
It must be Halloween - Not April Fools!
When the Frost is on the Pumpkins
And you See some Country Bumpkins
Beware Dracula, the Dark Knight -
His Fangs at Night are quite a Fright!
Hurry - Choose one Quick!
Grab - and Take your Pick -
And should you Hear an Eerie Growl
Know that Wolfman’s on the Prowl!
If you’re a Scottie with a Tam-o’-Shanter
Put some Kilts on your Jack-o’-Lantern
And Light him up very Crisp -
Just like a Will-o’-the-Wisp!
Or - maybe you’ll Choose to Dress Up like Gomez -
And Kiss Morticia’s Arms when she Says - Vous Parlez!
Or - perhaps Bart Simpson, or even Homer -
Or that Bumbling Marine - PFC Pyle, Gomer!
What e’er you Pick - it Will be Neat -
Knockin’ on Doors - “Trick or Treat!”
But - don’t Gorge Too Much - and get Sick -
A Reversal would Ensue - “Treat or Trick?”

Am going as myself on Saturday, though I will look like a pumpkin: wearing an orange shirt; going to help out at my church, for their annual Harvest Festival for a few hours; will be busy greeting people! :) |
