At the door is a ghost And I give it a toast For it's looking for candy And I have plenty handy.
And when I give candy The ghosts think that's dandy I have one thing down pat. Ghosts can't put on fat
The tough part's statistics Or maybe logistics, 'Cause if I run out The ghosts start to pout.
And if there's too much Of that candy and such I'm sure that I'll try it And go off my diet.
C'est la vie.

Very Cute and so enlightning, I never thought about how ghosts don't gain weight. Brilliant!! No need to worry bout "Diet" Diet is an everyday necessity aka eating to survive. My diet is cookies and coffee. So enjoy while you can, indulge in all the things you've given up that taste too derned good!
Give up something worth giving up in return, like Brussel sprouts or?? then it'll be an 'Even' trade.
Thanks Hank! Happy Halloween!!

Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
