Jack-O'-Lantern's Grin -- Bwa-Ha-Ha

As scary as an angry pit bull's bark
Jack-o'-lantern's grin's aflame in the dark
   You'd better not shout
   You'd better watch out
I've a pumpkin who takes walks in the park...

Alright! If not scary, this one had no merits at all, I imagine. Happy Halloween! Cheers, Gershon

Hello Gershon … does this trick help with trick or treat, or is it a ruse to scare the living daylights out of a bloke like me - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

You know, you're right... It's getting so that anything past my front stoop scares the 'bejeebers' out of me now. LOL. Thanks, P.S! :) gw

It scared me into behaving! Pit Bulls and pumpkins are a dangerous combination.
