Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

Candy For All

Mama always had them ready, 
			goody bags--one hundred twenty--
			covering our kitchen table.
			She'd make sure all kids got plenty.

			Up our gravel driveway, squealing
			costumed kids came in a flurry.
			"Trick or treat" earned them their candy.
			To the next house, off they'd hurry.

			As the night progressed, though wee ones
			ceased to come, Mom still gave candy.
			Tall, masked ghouls with manly voices
			asked, and Mom obliged them grandly.
