No Candy Needed

To save some money on Halloween I use a technique and must come clean Wear a scary disguise Children emit loud cries I laugh as they run away and scream This is a true tale, I must confess And it’s surely worked with much success Electrifying hair Come hither if you dare The local kids think that I’m possessed! *Written in honor of John Freeman and his "Boisterous Comedy" contest

I had a dentist who gave out small toys like the ones found in Cracker Jack boxes during Halloween. I don't believe dentists would give out candy to encourage dental decay. Your double limerick is fine work as usual.

A total HOOT, Carolyn. So, is this when your acting debut began? I love it. Certainly the cream of the crop. Perhaps your electrifying hair was wedding day green? ha ha. Congrats on 2 wins in the same day! Gwendolen

LOL, I can just picture this : ) My mum turns all the lights out and the whole household has to sit in darkness to deter the trick or treat kids - it's the same with carol singers (maybe your scary look will work on them too)
