The Trick of Treats
Halloween’s got tricks and treats
But what’s the scary worst
Is how the treats (I bought the kids)
Are adding to my girth
The Reese’s and the Tootsie Rolls
Keep howling out my name
I fear if I don’t have just one
I will surely go insane
Six bags of candy sitting there
Upon my table top
Though I know if I should try just one
They’ll be gone before I stop
The real horror of the Halloween
Is the fear of midriff bulge
It’s a ghost who haunts this house of mine
Who commands me to indulge
I try my best to walk away
Ignore those tasty treats
But spirits of the Halloween
Halt my weak retreats
So in the better interest of
Keeping Halloween secure
I guess that I should just give in
And eat all I can endure
