What Mask

I give dozens of treat bags each year, and along with the thank-you’s I hear, “Your mask looks like a ghoul." Kids are easy to fool. Some of us don’t need masks to cause fear! I used howmanysyllables.com. Syllable counts are 9-9-6-6-9. Each long line has three anapests; each short one, two anapests.
