Witches and goblins

are on the loose, so why

are we opening our doors?

~

Leave a little milk

for those wee spirits most fey.

That will keep those haints at bay!

When it comes to art,

is it easy to discern

masterpieces from doodles?

~

One man’s masterpiece

is another man’s doodle,

so it’s up to you to say.

If  a little dab 

will do ya, why insist on

trying to get more?

~

Some smarmy greasers

want the whole enchilada;

less will never do!

Somehow we have slid

quietly into year three.

Can you believe this journey?

~

I never would have

thought such an unlikely pair

as we would  get to year three.

When old solutions

to current problems don’t work,

why do some still turn to Trump?

~

It is often said

“Expecting different results

from the same old thing is nuts!”

Now that the masters

are clutching their pretty prize,

can we all get back to work?

~

 As every mother

knows, the work’s never done and 

prizes are seldom given.

Whose idea was it

that pumpkins were better

used as lanterns than as pie?

~

Once, in the old world,

turnips served as spirit wards.

New worlds require bigger.

Must we jump through hoops,

like packs of well trained puppies,

to earn meaningless awards?

~

You can look before

 you leap and decide, hoops or

no hoops, what’s worth jumping for.

When there’s no there there,

should you turn to Fox News in

hopes they’ll find something?

~

Since the only news

you’ll ever find on Fox News

is all propaganda; no.

As Autumn mists rise

and leaves begin to color,

can we enjoy the changing?

~

Color me full of

joy at the prospect of change

after a heated summer.
