Halloween Bandit

Hey bro, what’s up with that
You said you were Too old Too cool
No costume No trick & treating for you

Not interested in going out to get your own candy
You’d obviously rather rummage through my stash
All in the name of helping me with my diet

I want to thank you ever so much for your concern
But don’t do me any favors, bro
If I were you I’d watch my back

I wouldn’t take a chance. Unless of course you had skittles and then all bets would be off. Good luck in the contest.

You can have all my skittles, Richard. No problem.
