No trick or treating
There was no trick or treating tonight
The weather had made it too light
So they went to a show
Where the dead tend to go
Which gave them much more of a fright!

six ghoulish goblins go trick or treating
six ghoulish goblins glowing in the dark
one of them suggests a Halloween lark
painting crazy faces on jack-o-lanterns in the road.
a witch goes crazy; one turns into a loud toad.
another ghoulish goblin chases the witch away.
She has run out of spells and screams along the way.
black cat dances past them carrying a scalding pot.

Measure your sucess by how you treat others
In the race to success, we often tend to focus
On achievements and accolades, and the prizes we can collect
But in the midst of ambition, let's not forget
The most important measure of our worth, is how we treat others we meet
For kindness, empathy, and compassion are the keys
To building strong relationships, and a life that's truly

Witch Costume To Wear
Once upon a Halloween
I was a little black cat
Since then I have also been
A witch and the Cat in the Hat
One time I was Lily Munster
And then a witch again
I was also once Bart Simpson
Another witch, and then
A wizard and a zombie, too
The following year, a fairy
And, just to try out something new
More witches, sweet

Trick Or Treating At Grandmas
We went up our Grandma Eleanor’s walk
To yell trick-or-treat when a crow gave a squawk
We could not believe how black it was, it gave me a fright.
It was not the only scary thing that happened that night.
There was a princess who fell on the step.
Another kid ran over her, he had enormous pep.
She let out

Trick Or Treating At That House
What to be? She wondered, thinking princess with a mask
But she wanted to disguise her figure, a monumental task
She tried on costume after costume, discarding most as “no”.
She finally chose a sheet that had a tiny after glow.
She had better wear a muzzle, for if he heard her voice
He would recognize her immediately; her husband’s

Treating You
“How’s life treating you?” A neighbor
Recently inquired.
He’s a working dad and I’m
A nana, long retired.
“I can’t complain,” was my reply,
“Or rather, I will not.”
For what’s the point when, after all,
I’m grateful for a lot.
The elevators in our building
Finally both work
So endless waiting is no more
What many weeks did irk.
I’m happy for the little things;
There

Tricked In Treating
Like a zombie at a town picnic
Scarfing brains in my room, like a shtick
My costume I offed
For I retched and coughed
Mom said, "That was the ultimate trick!"

Treating Tricks
With ghosts and ghouls out and about
They make kids quiver,scream and shout
Treats soon calm them down
When they come around
While tricks will spark another bout.

Trick-Or-Treating In the 60's
Trick-or-Treating in the 60’s.
The good ole days.
When no one wore a bloody costume
Or a provocative costume or an offensive costume.
An innocent time when adults monitored children.
We had those awful hard plastic masks
The ones with an elastic string that broke.
They were ill-fitting and made seeing almost impossible.
Our parents did not drive us to the good neighborhoods.
We

Treating People Unfair
TREATING PEOPLE UNFAIR
if you think about
life and how people treat you
most treat you bad and...
they find nothing good
nothing good in you so they
speak untruths and lies

Treating My Stutter
The book that’s my absolute favorite
is the most effective by far
after all my years of stuttering
having left many a inward scar
‘The treatment of stuttering’ on hardback
written by the renowned Charles van Riper
a former severe stuttered now it’s master
so hoping could be my stuttering wiper
Having tried many therapies in my life
none had much effect upon my
