Tricks Today

I wonder what the tricks are now For once, they used to be Some splattered eggs or toilet paper Draped around a tree. Another one was sidewalk chalk All crushed within a sock Which then was bashed against a stoop, Much to the owner’s shock. The treats are much the same these days, Though home-made ones are gone, Yet are there any people left To play those tricks upon? For candy-holding-backers Will pretend they aren’t there Or else the consequences might Be more than just a scare.
