Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Beware of the Curmudgeon On Judson Street

In a dark, dark room this Halloween Night,

     I will seclude myself sans outside light,

          And when kids shout "trick or treat",

               Behind my door I'll retreat,

                    And eat all the Snickers bars just for spite!
