My second offering for Poetry Pot Luck at http://jinglepoetry.blogspot.com. It’s true too.
One trick-or-treater?
Just one?
One?
I mean there’s only one pervert down the hall;
You could have come here and he wouldn’t have bothered you at all.
My Milky Ways didn’t have razors, I know because I just ate the last one,
The soft mints didn’t have LSD I don’t think; I’ve got through half of ’em.
Damn, I wish I had a blueberry pixie-stick and a couple of Kit Kats too.
One trick-or-treater?
Just one?
And I’ll be damned if she wasn’t 41!
With a cowardly lion chihuahua instead of a son.
Reaching into my bag I give her a goodly sum,
better give her a lot, she’ll be my only one.

They look a bit like straws, but when you open them they’re filled with flavored, colored sugar. Good times!

I had none !
Well that’s not strictly true.
My doorbell rang a few times but by the time I got there to open it, they’d run off – 4 dogs barking their heads off and jumping up at the door tends to have that effect on some people. 😆

That was fun to read! Your only trick-or-treater was 41? LOL Thanks for making me smile. I woke up moody today, and this plus a couple of other poems have lifted my mood considerably. Also, thanks for your comment about my poem “Stargazing”. 🙂
Hmmm, wonder what LSD-laced mints are like? 😉

If I can make one person happy, I feel very happy myself.
I imagine the walls would breathe and stripes of red would bleed out of them. The stripes would then turn into red snakes with fangs

I read that most ‘tampered candy’ tales were urban legends. I googled tampered candy and was amazed. I think the real danger is the strangers handing it out.

I made all my trick-or-treaters sign a privacy agreement (because they could see into my living room with my door being open), and then I gave them a signed copy of my pamphlet on how to sext someone appropriately and safely. That's just being a good member of my community.

Well, when I was 8 and trick-or-treating, someone gave me a New Testament. I think that’s similar. Thanks! LMAO . You ought to write a whole post on your civic duty on Halloween.

Lisa,
You crack me up! I love that post, it was too funny. I wish you were NaNoing with me too! I am at over 16,000 words and I am still going strong. At least I think I am. My story just hit the bizarre but that’s cool. I think my new crowd would be pleased. All because of a stupid quote, “they looked like two suicide notes stuffed into a glitter bra.” hehehe

That is best quote of the day! I just don’t have an idea for a novel of 50k words. A prompt I can do, a big novel is best left to the imaginative such as yourself. Your comment made me very happy! Thank you!
