The Upper Hand

On Halloween's scary night, I trust no friend, when lots of witches and spirits loom... to let all the rascals have the upper hand! I could dress just like Robin Hood, but the elves and the grisly bears wouldn't like it...so I dress as a dragon! Others kids strangely stare and laugh saying, " You look so goofy in that old costume... take if off, or we'll ask some witch to hit you with a broom!" And eggs go flying like flying saucers over my stuffed and dizzy head; they crack and drip...oh, what an awful taste! I'm very convinced by their mischievous acts... that the little brats have gotten the upper hand; and what kind of trick could I use and still pretend? My pockets are loaded with shaving cream cans, I will spray them all over their painted faces, and make fun of them...how silly they will feel!
