Candy Not Just For the Little Guys

Little girls in witches’ hats Riding brooms and chasing bats Little boys in gruesome gore Running wildly door to door A princess with some fairy wings Pinocchio without his strings Lady GAGA, let’s hope not A cowboy – wooden horse in trot Some kids in sheets or mummy wrapped Out this night if they had napped You greet them all with store-bought candy When that runs out – whatever’s handy And this goes on till by and by The kids all have a sugar high Then they return to mom and dad And laugh about the fun they had When they’re in bed and fast asleep You see what candy they can keep But you’ll keep out a bar or two You hide away that’s just for you For though you have kids of your own There are candy bars you have not outgrown So skip the beer and skip the wine And rob their stash like I robbed mine Mdailey 9/20/11
