Carolyn, "trick or treat" pretty well sums up the whole election process lately.

Cute one, Carolyn! I guess even Halloween is politicized these days. 'Hideous' is the perfect word choice here. Kudos. ~ Gershon

This didn't actually happen, Sunshine. It's just that they send letters, write and call my home phone so much. I check caller ID before answering. This will end for a bit after the elections next week. Hugs for you, Sunshine. Let me visit your page.

In today's world Carolyn, it is dangerous to open your door unless you have safety measures to revert to. these people were not correct, and took advantage of the day when people are hospitable, but you could have been opening your door to a criminal. Living in South Africa, we are more wary about letting people in or opening our door! Great verse and clever at the same time , both Halloween and politicians fall under the same umbrella. Kind regards, Jennifer.

Truly, Halloween can be a dangerous night, Jennifer. Parents here walk around with their little trick-or-treaters and inspect their candy to be sure it's safe. Thanks for reading, Carolyn

gave me a giggle. About as bad as a night of Purge!! I saw you emailed me but I only have time for a bit of Soup tonight. Hope to get to your emails tomorrow, sweetie.

Nicely written, Carolyn, it gave me a little laugh this morning. Best of luck. John

On Halloween, people tend to go either spooky or funny. Was hoping to tap into a little of both. Thanks for reading, John. Will check out your page.

This is clever and creative, Carolyn. Attaching a trick-or-treat label to politicians is most fitting...though, of course, we can't throw them all in the same bag! Hugs // paul

Well done, Carolyn! You certainly nailed the tricksters! Aloha! Rico

Gee that is scary lol, fabulous take on the theme Carolyn - the good thing is they only visit at election time and don't darken your door at any other time:-) We only see ours every 5 years:-) hugs jan xx

Here some of them open up their campaign funds more than a year in advance. Five years would be preferred!

LOL!! so true! One showed up today!

How awful! They just call me and send mail. Sorry you had to see the monster face-to-face, Kim. Thanks for reading. Will check out yours.

PAC men don't need costumes. LOL Happy Halloween, Winged Wonder!

Chris Green

Date: 10/29/2018 12:37:00 PM

So they are there to trick you, not to treat you huh? And I guess their costumes are the smiling masks they are wearing? :) This was fun and definitely well timed my friend. Best of luck in the contest.

I'm afraid even to answer my phone when elections are coming. Every candidate is looking for money now, but we often don't get responses when we write to elected officials of our concerns AFTER elections. Let me visit your page now, Chris.
