Trick-Or-Treating In the 60's
Trick-or-Treating in the 60’s.
The good ole days.
When no one wore a bloody costume
Or a provocative costume or an offensive costume.
An innocent time when adults monitored children.
We had those awful hard plastic masks
The ones with an elastic string that broke.
They were ill-fitting and made seeing almost impossible.
Our parents did not drive us to the good neighborhoods.
We walked from house to house trick-or-treating with
People who knew us in our own neighborhood. No one checked their candy.
Homemade brownies and popcorn balls were devoured not discarded.
They were our favorite treats, we ate them between houses.
When it was getting late these adults who knew us sent us home
And we went without protesting because they were adults and we knew respect.
Did I mention we said thank you too? Integrity and manners preceded us.
Trick-or-Treaing in the 60’s.
