Within the pillow case universe, on the sacred night of Halloween, There was a disturbance in the natural force of the candy zone, And this is what began the legendary saga, of the goodie treats Positive sweetness vs. the sour darkness bitter stomach upset! But both sides conflicting, still leave tiny costumed storm troopers Begging for more, at the doorsteps of humanity, with a battle cry Of trick or treat, as porch lights flicker in the darkness of this Spookiest of holidays! The bitter chocolate emperor, is protected by his sour patch kids Body guards, his only aim is to prove that tart is a better flavoring Then sweet, what a diabolical delicious evil to swallow! But the forces of goodie treats stand strong against this madness Of these milk chocolate visions of power, a lone warrior rises Upwards to take on this challenge, and his name is Luke Taste Bud, The last true master of sweetness, whom welds the Life Saver, Of pleasures indulgence! Many battle wrappers have given their lives of savoring flavoring, In this candy wars of tastes diversity, innocent star bursting galaxies Have perished beneath this unjustified cause of bitter vs. sweet! Whom shall win in this contest of true desire, what side is right Or wrong, only the remaining left over pile will know after the Spoils of Halloween are sorted by the overlords of power, The parental Gods, whom choose the good treats from the bad! As Luke Taste Buds faces off against the evil bitter Emperor, Within the dreaming realm of peaceful slumbering, the tiny Storm Troopers sleep within childhood fantasies of candy Dreams. The final Victory is being decided on the table of fate, Within the living room of a higher plain, by the forces Of good, whom slain the evil by consumption's mighty Sharing, in their tributes offering of sweetness These guardians of Parental power, do this to protect Those tiniest of storm troops, what a sacrifice to make On their behalf, they truly are magnificent lords of Kindness and benevolence! As the light of the new morning dawns, and Halloween’s Excitement is quenched by the remaining left overs of Goodie wars gone soar, within the pillow case universe, The legend of the candy wars shall continue forever, In the dreams of reflections memories carried forward, And relived in the grand remembrance, of our childhood, In every yummy bite, of the future when we indulge Ourselves in a tasty treat, or the sour flavoring of pleasures Delight!
