Trick Or Treat

I went to buy Halloween candy; The choices weren’t really the best. I figured I might as well buy what I like, ‘Cause I would get stuck with the rest. Last year I had no trick-or-treaters. My Kit-Kats and Mounds bars sat waiting; And each time I saw them I scarfed several down, The calories accumulating. I should have just bought treats I hated, Then tossed them when nobody showed; But childhood advice gave me warning That I’d violate some kind of code. So today when I stocked up on candy, I chose all my favorites they sell; And I promise I’ll wait to unwrap them ‘Til I’m sure no one’s ringing my bell!

Ha, ha! Delightful poem. I'm sitting here handing out candy and, of course, eating some.
