Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat! A Halloween Rhyme
By Lisa Ing
2
At six oclock on Halloween, Small ghosts and
goblins could be seen.
3
They rapped and tapped on every door, Shouting,
Trick or treat! We want more! So all the
neighbors on our street Happily stuffed their
bags with sweets.
4
I saw ten pumpkins and a mouse Ring the doorbell
of my house. A green frog and a black cat,
too, Were followed by a kangaroo.
5
Scary fairies and busy bees Skipped and laughed
among the trees. Their baskets were so quickly
filled So high that candies even spilled.
6
Lollipops and gumdrops filled their tummies And
their mouths with tasty yummies. They crunched
and munched Through candy lands With chocolates
melting in their hands. I saw this strange and
spooky sight On a moonlit, eerie, frightening
night.
7
And then one sight struck me with fear - - - I
gasped! Theres no more candy here! I cried,
Oh, no, Im in a fix! Without more candy,
theyll all play tricks!
