Store-Bought Halloween

Halloween is coming soon it's not that far away But it's nothing like it used to be way back in my day. Part of the fun when I was young was creating your own disguise by using this and using that you just had to improvise. You might be a Clown or a Pirate no telling what you might be dress in your parents old clothes and with charcoal you could draw a beard or a little goatee! But today it's all store-bought outfits imagination and creativity are out original disguises no longer exist which was what Halloween was all about! I'm Old Fashioned and way out of touch, I know and probably should get up to snuff But I still think the old way was better by far That's it, I've said enough!

Hey Ralph, I am with you!! The best costumes I wore were homemade. We had so much fun making them. Half the time the kids that come to my door don't really have what I would call a costume on at all. Just want the candy. Well done!! Always enjoy your poems and thinking! Lee

You and me Ralph. They miss half of the fun by not wearing their own creations. Congratulations on your win. Love, Joyce
