<center>.:.Happy Halloween.:.

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While you pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious abode,
While you waited after knocking,
And the door was soon unlocking,
Amid pumpkins mocking, mocking along the road.
"Trick or treat!" You cry, "Give me some candy or I'll give you a toad!
Only this to increase my load!"

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak October,
And each seperate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I handed out candy; happily wearing a costume so dandy,
While writing stinky poems, poems that would surely bore
To pass away the hours 'til the next trick-or-treater has arrived upon the shore,
Pounding here at my door.

And the night passed like a ghostly swallow, thrilling, chilling, dark and hollow,
And the last trick-or-treater had arrived at my door.
"Hold yer horses," said I, "Lemme go get the candy,
Perhaps you'll yet get The Candy of Ancient Lore,"
But what happened next caused him to egg my door, for
Quoth the candy jar, "Nevermore."
