Happy Halloween to all of the wonderful friends
I've made online. Have a safe and FUN celebration.

Gather 'round trick or treaters, whatever your age is,
And I'll tell you a story that'll rattle your cages.
A Halloween tale that's really a scream,
Like something right out of a terrible dream.
See, there are five little goblins that lurk in the park,
Waiting for people who walk after dark.
But it's candy and snacks these goblin-things want,
When they go out on their once-a-year hunt.
Yes, they hide in the bushes this Halloween night,
Under the glow of a nearby streetlight.
Patiently waiting beneath a full moon,
hoping somebody comes by pretty soon.
Now they hear someone walking at a very brisk rate,
An unwary person, coming home from work late.
Well, those footsteps get closer, then into the light,
Steps the goblins' next victim. A most welcome sight!
They jump from the bushes and yell "Trick or treat!
We're five hungry goblins, give us something to eat!"
But the shocked victim cries "I've no candy or food!"
Well, this puts the goblins in a most foul mood.
"What?!" they exclaim, "No candy or stuff?"
Then they start to move closer, as if to get rough.
The terrified victim runs off 'cross the grounds,
But loses a shoe and is quickly chased down.
And wrestled into a large trick or treat sack,
And taken away to the goblins' old shack.
Now, a city policeman named Officer Clark,
Has heard all this noise going on in the park.
So he runs to the scene of the creepy ordeal,
But all he finds is the shoe, a lady's high heel.
And that's not enough evidence to file a report,
He decides it's a Halloween prank of some sort.
Just some young trick or treaters trying to cause a big scare,
but out in a moldy old cottage somewhere.
The goblins' unfortunate, struggling foe,
is thoroughly plucked, buttered up head to toe.
And for their big over-sized oven prepared,
(Despite her repeated requests to be spared.)
Later, at supper, all the goblins call dibs,
On the drumsticks or thighs or meat from the ribs.
Why such a fate so awful and ghoulish?
Well, not having snacks for the goblins is foolish.
Yes, it seems when a goblin yells out "Trick or Treat!"
One way or the other, he'll get something to eat!
So have treats for the goblins on your next Halloween,
Or they'll take YOU instead and pick your bones clean!
