I stepped out of the car
And was verbally
assailed
As I stood upon my
drive
“Trick or treat”
Came the banshee
chorus
From creatures barely
alive
I was taken aback
By this unprecedented
event
This new tactic they’d
contrived
In the past I had been
safe
Behind locked doors
When the leaches
arrive
But pretending not to
be in
Would not cut it any
more
If I was to survive
I must be as clever
As the candy seeking
predators
And learn to duck and
dive
So, when a firework
went off
And their attention
was distracted
I ran away to hide
