OMG!
Halloween!
Trick and Treat!
You should see the kids in our street
Their costumes aglow
Gothic and ragged
The local dogs hide
The cats go scat
For these indominable spirits
Are truly running amok

Back when there were lots of kids running amok!

Trick or treat was just beginning to catch on when my kids were young. And it certainly wasn’t the big thing it is in America
