Post Halloween Post

Halloween has come and gone,

And it was fine and dandy.

The kids arrived with costumes on --

We handed out the candy.

From out of our plastic pumpkin bowls
To every ghoul in queue -

Snickers, Twizzlers, Tootsie Rolls -

We gave each kid a few.

Although we worry ever year,

Will there be enough?

As always, when the end was near,

There was oodles of the stuff.

Here's my advice if candy still
Is left when the night is done -
To hell with diets, gorge until
You've eaten every one.

There is no reason to be doleful
When you've got candy by the bowlful!
