Halloween

Monday morning all is blue, 
Heaving oneself out of bed in a hullabaloo, 
Dark outside as Halloween sets in, 
Slugs attacking the teeth of our pumpkin, 
Son demanding I arrange his cards for a magic trick, 
Daughter huffing, expecting her breakfast to appear real quick, 
I want to shut the door and hide away, 
Under my inviting warm duvet.
