Janice Canerdy Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Halloween 2020

Will cute, costumed kids come for candy?
In case, I’ll have loads of sweets handy.
Wee ones might stay home;
still, big ones will roam
T-P-ing* yards. Clean-up's NOT dandy! 



*Toilet papering (also called TP-ing), is the act of covering an object, such 
as a tree, house, another structure, a yard, etc., with toilet paper. Another 
term for this is “yard-rolling.”

Rico Leffanta October 10, 2020 at 1:42 PM Toilet paper is too valuable in Hawai'i to decorate to that extent! Aloha! Rico Janice Canerdy October 10, 2020 at 5:55 PM Thanks, Rico. Janice

Sam Kauffman October 9, 2020 at 3:32 PM So true - so true Janice. This definitely put a smile on my face. I will miss the little ones. We get a little crazy decorating our porch and front yard so the older kids come and enjoy the atmosphere! Best of luck for the contest! Might want to hide the TP! Janice Canerdy October 9, 2020 at 3:36 PM I have a special bunker where I keep my tp! LOL! Thanks so much, Sam. Janice
