When I was just a little girl we loved Halloween We'd dress all up in our costumes the cutest you'd ever seen Goblins and witches, Supermen, and Angels sometimes a cute little clown If around you would look you might even see a little Charlie Brown We would go to all the houses in the neighborhood Oh, the nice treats they would fix for us were so good Candy apples, popcorn balls, just all kinds of good treats Our Mothers would check out our bags but only to limit our sweets We all had a lot of innocent fun, to be afraid of our treats, not ever That was a while back, I'm talking about, then some bad folks tried to be clever Now, even if the kids get to go trick or treat, in this sad day Their parents have to check the treats real good, some even use an x-ray You see, the cruel bad folks who thought they were so clever Into the treats put razor blades, pills, just whatever When this happens I just want to cry, for it is so very, very sad That even trick or treat on Halloween had to turn out to be often bad [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-30-2002 02:55 PM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, this is sooooooo very sad, sweet friend, I wish Halloween could be the same innocent spooky holiday like it used to be, now it is rather a cruel spooky holiday for some who attempt to injure poor innocent children in the treats they get, it makes me cry too! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to all the children this Halloween and hope they are safe from any of that, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah.... I know. It's so sad. I hope all the children have a really happy and safe Halloween. Linda.... Thanks for your reply. I'll be sure to check my "treats before I eats" !!!!! Julie..... I'm glad that you liked it. Thanks for reading it and for your reply. Love to All, Ethel BTW.....I don't know why, but all my words were running together again. I checked it before I submitted it, I thought. Any suggestions??? [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-30-2002 03:23 PM).] |

Mr. Toe... I know that when you dressed up like LongJohn that you probably looked like "Popeye the Sailor Man".... but now when you dressed up like Balladeer just who in the world did you look like????? HeeHee!!! Love To All, Ethel |

Nancy Lee, it's so sad, isn't it? Halloween was such a fun time when we were kids, wasn't it? It can be now, too, though. Parents have to just be a lot more careful than before. Have a Happy Halloween, sweet Nancy. Love and Hugs, Ethel |
