Trick or treats? A poem about Halloween (and sweets)

Have you seen on Halloween the monsters roam the streets?
When they ring your bell do you know well if you’ll take a risk upon a trick or rather give them treats?


If you want a night of peace and quiet then heed the words I say:
Stock up on snacks to prevent attacks. For here’s the truth: feed their sweet tooth and you’ll keep the ghouls away.


Ogres glum like sticks of gum and vampires chew on chomps.
Grisly ghosts like nuts the most, while for gums of wine Frankenstein upon your street he stomps.


A lolly-ice makes Medusa nice when once she would have hated.
Bigfoot trudges for assorted fudges, so if presented you'll be prevented from being eviscerated.


Swampy beasts want chocolate feasts to eat back home in shallows.
While goblins mean like jelly beans and you'll get stitches from warty witches unless they get marshmallows.


Gobstoppers are Blob stoppers and cake will kill the craving
Of reapers grim from coming in with eyes of hate through your front gate along the crazy paving.


Poltergeists are fearful frights unless they get a humbug.
While impish fairies and werewolves hairy want lots and lots of jelly tots or they'll destroy your rug.


Fiery demons like sherbet lemons - you can't get them down in hell.
Give sneaky sprites Turkish delights to put a stopper from coming a cropper and prevent them casting spells.


Keep gremlins busy with pop all fizzy –or they will get all snappy.
I’m pretty sure you won’t like what’s in store when they break down your door and so therefore it’s wise to keep them happy!


Coffee creams work like a dream to stop trolls chewing faces.
Egyptian mummies like items yummy – and every curse can be reversed with just some strawberry laces.


Zombies smelly are fans of jelly – the texture’s just like brains.
Visitors from mars like toffee bars - there’s more to savour in their sweet flavour than in your warm remains.


So this time of year, for fear of fear and to still your beating heart:
Stock up on treats - evil loves sweets and you'll be fine ‘til Valentine’s when the proper scares will start!
