Guilt-Free Butterfingers
 
A stroll down the candy aisle
conjures visions of past Halloweens
with costumed innocents braving the dark
in pursuit of a sugar high.

I miss those nights of digging
through sacks of treats, picking out
all the butterfingers while witchlings
and fang boys slept unaware.

Halloween still brings a pleasurable
tingle, as I stir in my cauldron
a generous supply of guilt-free butterfingers.

Settling on the porch step,
I await the monster stampede.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
