IT HAPPENED LAST HALLOWEEN
by Paul Curtis 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 I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
