Halloween

A hungry ghoul came to my door
Demanding sweet treats, nothing more
When I offered broc'li
The ghoul flashed his “cockney”
(I don’t open doors anymore!)

How did you know I only buy Reese's peanut butter cups? It's the one candy I don't eat. LOL I better buy some early this year. Not sure if kids will come around, but hopeful. Have a nice Halloween and Thanksgiving, Michelle.

Don't know why limericks are so easy to write. I never know if people will "get" them or not. Thanks for your comments, Gershon. I'll visit your page.
