Fairytale creatures, magical beasts
Begin their quests for sugary feasts
Goblins galore, ghostly ghouls
The scarier the better is only rule
Howling, shouting up and down the street
At each lighted door “Trick or Treat!”
Anticipating with utter glee
Gumdrops, lollipops, and sticky candy
A medley of fantastical delights
All gobbled up on Halloween night.

Tis was a delight. We just went out and bought candy for Halloween treats. Now the trick is to save some for the goblins.
