What's Fair
Who decides what's fair?
I dunno - but I can sure
Tell you what's
NOT FAIR:
Putting out costumed morsels
On Halloween night
And having their parents or other large beasts accompany them
Some of the large ones carry mace
The worst ones
Carry wooden stakes
or CROSSES
Tasty-looking tots go from door to door
Trusting in the kindness of strangers
Who will give them candy
And toys
But not ONE will come
Into my parlor
Willingly or not
I've had a few tugs of war
Over several treats
Who tend to scream
And somebody big always
Comes to their rescue
Then they go away
WIth all their TREATS
Whilst I remain here
Alone
And HUNGRY
Now THAT'S not fair!
