Halloween Night

Halloween night is supposed to be scary Peopled by spooks and goblins, most of them hairy But where I come from it's quite festive and merry Sugarplums dancing, accompanied by faeries Then there's the time-honored custom of trick-or-treating 'Course, as any trick-or-treater will tell you, it's all in the eating But where I'm from we dispense with the preliminaries Just one thing on our itinerary -- confectioneries Now as to the matter of witches on broomsticks, cackling high overhead And the spirits and ghosts that allegedly rise up from the dead We don't subcribe to that spooky nonsense What we do is burn incense and sniff frankincense Not to leave out the garish jack-o-lanterns' macabre grins The eerie haunted houses with their swinging skeletons Sorry to disappoint you, but we simply dispense with that stuff ~ In our nudist colony, where tradition's remade in the buff October 23, 2018
