Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Halloween Treats

Hordes of pirates march up and down the street

   Demanding my Snickers Bars for a treat

      Old curmudgeon that I are

         They won't get my Snickers Bar

            But I'll hand out carrots for them to eat

Entry for Tania Kitchin's "Halloween Inspired Limerick" Contest
