Halloween--In Reverse

On Halloween it was understood We could not leave the neighborhood. Just to be sure I minded Mother I'd had to take my little brother. We both were having lots of fun Treats were abundant, tricks were none. I had thought it would be extremely neat To try the next block on the street, A house lit only with blue lights Would surely yield sugary delights. From the specter answering my knock, I was almost put into a shock. When I heard a most blood curdling yell Forgetting my treats I had run pell-mell. At my front door was my own mother Demanding where I'd left my brother. Worse than the fright I'd left behind, My fate because I didn't mind.
