All through the town trooped legions
Of goblins, witches, imps and angels
Playing tricks and looking for mischief.
All Hallows’ Eve was here to celebrate!
Two children just couldn’t resist the impulse
To overturn one man’s trash can
As he was one who hated Halloween tricks.
As the can rolled down the backyard steps,
The chase began downhill from the house,
Over fences, across yards, street and alleys,
Through more and more yards and fences.
The chase sped up as the boys hurried on,
Fearing that man who seemed ever so close.
Upon reaching a small stockyard, the boys,
Small enough to squeeze through the corral,
Hurried across and out the other side.
The man, too large for squeezing through,
Could only fume as he heard the boys’ loud laughter
And small giggles as they went merrily on their way,
Happy as larks at having such fun.
