Our pumpkins are flickering, the porch light, a beacon
Which little trick-or-treater will be first this season?
Stealing glances out the window, jittery with anticipation-
For our little costumed visitors advancing without hesitation
Wait! Here come two munchkins, running through the yard
A pirate dragging his little sister in a pink leotard
'Trick or treat!,' they smile and shout, as I open up the door
So cute I must fill their orange pumpkins with candy galore
Watching them skitter away, I spy three more
A fairy, witch, and Dracula himself headed for our door
More chocolates and suckers, all tossed in their sacks
Now off you go critters! Awaiting the next pack
Goodness gracious, here comes the sweetest one,
Toddling up our driveway accompanied by his mom
Sporting his Elmo duds and in the meekest little voice,
'trickortreat, ma'am?' So much candy for him, I've no choice!
Oh no, here comes a most mischievious looking crew,
A gang of teenagers much too old for this ritual I knew.
But in good spirits, I gave them one piece each and a wink,
Turning away satisfied, they were gone in a blink.
Behind them some siblings, too many to count
Here they all scramble, with a skip and a bounce-
On this night, we treat the most joyous kids ever seen,
Such happiness dispelling all wonder why we so love Halloween!!
