Guess I have to move out of the woods if I want trick-or-treaters.

What kind of candy do you have. I might be able to come over and help you with it.

[Mama_Bear]

I had an Armand Joy!

Love your sense of humor, Lady Jag. LOL

I finally came up with a Halloween poem. ...... Just a little bit late.

.

The Lot Of It

I went Trick or Treating,
In the strangest part of town.
The roads climbed upward gradually,
But none of them went down.

The last place that I went to,
Had a really fancy gate.
With iridescent shell-like stuff,
It really was ornate.

An old man stood attending as,
I held my bag outstretched,
He glanced at what was in the sack,
With the smile of someone “tetched”.

“I don’t have any gifts for you.
You seem to have wandered a bit,
But seeing the goodies you’ve gotten so far,
I’ll trade for the lot of it.”

Well, I’d eaten the best of the candies,
What remained didn’t matter too much,
I wondered what thing he’d be willing to trade,
This gent who was so out of touch.

So when he held out a halo,
I tendered the bag in return,
For here was a wonderful offering,
That I wasn’t quite sure I could earn.

It sure wouldn’t fit on my head-bone,
For it kept slipping down to my chest.
But I happily swapped all my candy,
As a halo in hand would be best.

I could show it with pride to my mother,
Who had thought I’d amount to no good.
And I’d certainly get some attention,
From the girls in my neighborhood.

The next thing I knew I was standing,
Right back in my own front yard.
The halo I got makes me happy,
‘Cause being that good is real hard!

You and Amy are a great team indeed.

Thanks, MEG. She is sure easy to please, that's for sure. And, she is willing to do the searching and text work that I just hate. Yes, I guess we do make a pretty good team. LOL

[JustAmy]

Thanks, NnB.

I love your Halloween poem. I’m going to add it to my NnB collection of poems ...... you never know when I will need it.

Thank you again.

[JustAmy]

You and MB are right, Meg. And a big thank you for all you do.

It is wonderful to get a lot of stuff and then turn it over to someone else when you know that she will make it beautiful.

[NicknamedBob]

My collection is probably larger than yours, but yours may be better organized.

[JustAmy]

I have an old alphabetical list of your poems. I’m sure you need to send me a new list. :)

I’m late, as always to this gorgeous thread, but did want to share a little tune with you all. It’s beautifully sung by Dolly Parton

Kitty - you might enjoy the song I just posted....

Snarly

[JustAmy]

It’s a beautiful song; I’m sure Kitty will enjoy it as much as I did.

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for the Pings and the Song, and Dolly has a Very Lovely Voice! It would be Wonderful to Sing to our Lord with a Voice Like that; what a Gift!

[SnarlinCubBear]

So glad you enjoyed...she does indeed have a lovely gift.

Amy, I found the pic of your little darling! This is so cute! How grown up she is! That doesn’t even look like a Halloween costume!

[JustAmy]

Thank you!! *** BIG Smile ***

She is growing fast. She will be 8 on Dec. 7th.

She fell in love with that costume (Southern Belle) as soon as she saw it. She wouldn’t even look at any thing else on the rack. :^) She does have a mind of her own. sigh.
