Old-Time Halloween
Halloween was favorite
of all kids on the block,
to dress up in our finest
or as a clown to mock.
After Trick or Treat was done,
then came the bested part.
At the local firehouse,
the fun and games would start.
Whose costume was number one?
the burning mystery.
We paraded 'round and 'round
for the judges to see.
Candy apples there for free
and tangy cider, too,
but the tastiest of all,
a donut each for you.
Those olden days, now long gone,
still live in memories.
Whole community pitched in
for neighbor kids to please.
