Bah Humbug Halloween Is Humbug

Bah! Humbug! Halloween is Humbug! By Elton Camp Most holidays from pagan rites did arise In the case of Halloween, it’s no surprise It glorifies the macabre and even the dead That alone is actually quite enough said “But for the little kids it is just a fun day” Is what so many will likely protest and say But is that the type of “fun” that kids need A night devoted to most insatiable greed? On their insistent demand of “Trick or treat,” People give them unwholesome things to eat Perhaps it may be a sicko psycho out there Who has a bit of poison that he can share And this in a child’s mind might well stick Vandalism’s okay if you just call it a trick This wrong by the parents can be controlled Kids won’t do it if the reasons they’re told
