Trick or Treat~ By Miriam George

The long black cloak on my little boy
Kept slipping along, but he never was coy
Determined to scare the wits of the rest
On Halloween’s day he was dressed his best

My red lipstick, he used for a bloody blotch
My eyeliner for a darkened eye patch
I stared in awe at the scary sight
And wondered at my cute boy’s daring might

My little Jack Sparrow, he joins his gang
The raunchy party knocking houses with a bang
Thoroughly enjoying the trick or treat
Gathering all goodies from houses that greet

The flickering lanterns and pumpkins carved
The host and guest in thematic garbs
The grey dark sky adding punch to the season
It’s time to party without rhyme or reason

The party’s over, gunny bags filled
With assorted goodies he’s back home thrilled
Drop’s asleep in the wink of an eye
The dare devil boy, my darling I sigh

Night chores ended, I stretch myself
A sweet craving, my sweet tooth jiggles
I ransack the shelves and search hither thither
For the gunny bag with lip smacking candies

Well Hidden under the long pirates garb
I locate his sugary treasure bag
Mischievously I grab some candies
And pull out a note, scrawled by my dandy

“Mom you are smart and may find this bag
Remember, I love you heart and soul 
Watch out dear mommy, I know you crave
But, no eating goodies, your diet I care”
