What's Fair

Who decides what's fair? I dunno - but I can sure Tell you what's NOT FAIR: Putting out costumed morsels On Halloween night And having their parents or other large beasts accompany them Some of the large ones carry mace The worst ones Carry wooden stakes or CROSSES Tasty-looking tots go from door to door Trusting in the kindness of strangers Who will give them candy And toys But not ONE will come Into my parlor Willingly or not I've had a few tugs of war Over several treats Who tend to scream And somebody big always Comes to their rescue Then they go away WIth all their TREATS Whilst I remain here Alone And HUNGRY Now THAT'S not fair!
