Emile Pinet Poet Monorhyme

Without Being Mean

Children love to pretend on Halloween,
dressed up as a ghoul or a fairy queen.
And trick-or-treat is all part of the scene,
as are witches, monsters, and the unclean.

You get to go somewhere you've never been,
neither heaven nor hell, but in-between.
Be a cyborg, part human, part machine,
or a vile villain of the silver screen.

Stocked by a werewolf or a wolverine,
the perils of this night are unforeseen.
But keeping all of the candy you glean
appeals to the adventurous preteen.

Have all the fun you want, but keep it clean:
try to be scary, without being mean.
