Just Tricks, No Treats

This man was so mean, he scared every child
Halloween was his big chance to go wild
  Kids rang his doorbell
  Screams issued from hell
And if a kid yelled ~ Why, he was all smiles

Hello Gershon … I could image that that there were quite a number of ghouls about during Halloween - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

The kids planned their revenge on the meany, That would get him both rankled and steamy, They let in a boar, Through the back door, Laughing at meany screaming obscenely.

My hubby used to get the house all 'spooky' for Halloween - he actually had a mechanical spider one year!

Ha, ha! This limerick is based on a real fellow... We were too scared of him to try to play a trick on him back then... Maybe he was a predator or something for all we knew... At any rate, Happy Halloween! Smiles for miles, Gershon
