Halloween Hangover...


Poem Artwork


As the dawn broke,
on the terrible sight,
hardly anything,
had survived the night.

Candles were burned,
down to the core.
Smell of burnt pumpkin,
permeated the air.

Costumes were ripped,
and thrown asunder.
Poor souls that wore them,
still deep under.

Tricks that were played,
from plans well-made.
Would vex the town,
for the next decade.

When the mailman came by,
the dog tried to reply,
but it was still too hoarse,
from all that howling.

Cupboards were bare,
but mom didn't care,
she'd had enough candy,
to lure the darlings.

Speaking of candy,
we all know it's dandy,
but that stupor and after taste,
killed his randy.

And up on the hill,
the scarecrow is nil.
The crows snitched his clothes,
and perch on the sticks, so handy.

Halloween, childish mischief reigns supreme -- adults too -- as his randy can well attest -- the eve of All Saints Night, and nothing is sacred to the pranksters -- as I recall from my mischievous youth on Halloween -- you have done this annual celebration justice with your penned work Ron -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

I love this, Ron, the hangover can be daunting to say the least. Always a mess, too many candy wrappers blown into the yard and messy pumpkins that gave their all for the cause. I am not a chocolate fan, so I make sure that I buy only chocolate candy for Halloween to keep my mitts outta the candy bowl. Though I don't have a dog, I have to say that my cats are exhausted by the end of the night, racing to the door to see who has come to visit them, and my kitty Jackson loves scaring the kids by jumping on the security screen at face height.
Take care,
Sherry

LOVE it!! 'specially the big chuckle at the end. Hoarse
dog, definitely relate to. Takes our Nicky a week to get over
the hoopla. Everyone's gnoshing on chocolate but him, and he thinks
he should have a costume. Loves the attention so much, he parks by the door, ears at attention, for an hour after the last
treat is doled. Thanks for sharing this winner, my friend. More fun than Halloween!! x0x 'Pea' xOx ... PS: had to put the leftover candy in the freezer. 'Somebody' woulda et too much.;)
