Halloween Extortion

Folder: 
2006 Poetry

Guilty fun

as we wandered

house to house,

extorting treats

with the threat

of some sort of

trick upon them.

I was never one

wanting to cause

to much damage,

but of course

times were

different then.

A little candle wax

smeared across

their window panes

was too harsh

for me to do,

so a bar of soap

would do the trick.

Easily washed off

when the night was through.
