Why Is It Messy After Halloween

We were taking our Halloween bounty down the River Jinx. Past rotting corpses, ghoul’s eyeballs and smelly scroungy mink Why is it always so messy after Halloween, asked one of our mates. I don’t care, I replied, the trick-or-treating and rotting pumpkins are great. We have to get rid of the candy wrappers, the pop cans and such. It’s a lot of work, but it is appreciated by the snowy winds, very much. They want the world to be fresh and ready for spring after the melt. I held my nose as we travelled past a beaver’s cadaverous pelt.
