Is It Halloween Again?

It's Halloween and I forgot,

to buy some costumes for the lot.

My kids have nothing now to wear,

perhaps some glitter in their hair?

Maybe black marker 'neath their eye,

will make them a bit zombified.

I have old clothes to rip a bit,

although I'm not sure they still fit.

The kids aren't happy I can tell,

but I'm a bit upset as well.

Because it's candy I forgot,

I didn't give it any thought,

Apples I have, somewhat rotten,

it's all I got cause I'd forgotten.

They're healthier, I justify,

my kids give me the evil eye.

My kids are going out the door,

one wears a sheet that I adore.

Two eyeholes cut, it makes me cry,

blue gitter's in my daughter's eye.

A fairy without any wings?

"Of course!" I lied, "there are such things."

A skeptical look is what she gave,

it was quite clear, I'm not her fave.

The rotten apples, one by one,

left my house, soon I was done.

I'm buying stuff now for next year,

I'll be prepared when it gets here.

My kids brought lots of candy back,

some snack-sized snickers in their sack.

My diet's shot, I ate them all,

Halloween's not bad after all!
