Candy, Corn, Skulls, Punk - Kids

The gourds were really jealous of the pumpkin's orange hide. The golden corn was long, long, gone the scarecrow did confide. The old oak tree was worrying for he'd TP on his crown, and the barn's backside was plastered with a witch who's falling down. The plastic skeleton rattled in the evening breeze laughing at the harvest moon he was trying not to sneeze! Soon the kids would bob for apples and eat candy till they hurled Oh yes Halloween's a grand old time for all the boys and girls! 10/2/13

I recall hurling on several occasions but all I did was start over again then hurl again etc. etc.... This brings back memories of the the days when most of the treats were homemade...Popcorn balls, candied apples, brownies, fudge and even cake for god's sake! (Scuse me, I gotta go hurl now)
