The little Bones stuffs his gob
with Halloween goodies.  

He’s hungry,
and can’t help himself.  

He knows he’s going to be sick,
but he doesn’t care.  

It’s not every night
people are good to Bones,
just because he’s a little kid.

Believe it or not,
he does appreciate
their gentle kindness.

Bobby

When I was a child we didn't get a lot of candy either so when we did we made the best of it. My brother and I made ourselves very sick with candy Easter eggs one year.

Bobby I had to go out last night , but I left a platter of butter fingers on my porch .When I came home, they were all gone. I hope Bones was down my street last night.

I told gimp not to let anybody take to many bars and get sick.

I like Bones' attitude...he celebrates Halloween in the pure tradition of the holiday...eating enough candy to make oneself sick...a night of unbridled lack of control...pass me a ButterFinger

Thanks dear Ida,

Yes, those Easter Eggs can be deadly.  Also the pink bunnies with those yummy ears.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear RDB.  

Bones got to travel and work in Oz when he was older.  He loves the candy, and those Vanilla Squares.

Love Bobby

Thanks dear Chopsticks,

That sounds like a good plan.  

Who is this Gimp?  

Are you sure he didn’t gobble up the goodies?

Thanks Steavenr,

The Bones here in the hood were really good last night.  When Hilda took me for my morning walk this morning, we didn't find any soapped windows or anything like that.

I think winning the World Series put the kids in a good mood.

I won't go into some of the really mean tricks Bones used to pull off the weeks before Halloween.

“ Who is this Gimp? “

He’s a loveable gutter-pup, same species as your Hilda. He came with this house I got from a guy name Blanding .

Bones most likely would have rejoiced coming to my door because we passed out large full-sized Snickers bars.  We even had one little boy come back for a second time.  Not to be piggish for he stood way back from the door.  Instead he brought two of his costumed friends so that they too, could delight in our bounty.  So my husband asked him if he would like one more big bar and he joyfully accepted saying as he danced away, "see I told ya, this is the best house."  His departure left ME stuffed-full with joy filled satisfaction.

See Bobby, I do agree with you, Halloween is for the joy it brings to the kids. *wink wink*

Janette

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

Thanks dear Janette,

That's great, it's good that you had a great Halloween this year.

Since the hood here is very crowded, I had about 150 "customers" for candy this year.  It was fun.

Love Bobby
