    Poem Commentary

    Oh Advertising, You'll never get me tired of you... Also, Happy Halloween

    Trick or Treat

     There is never any candy in those bowls they hold out
    Only enticing words of succulent lies
    Leaving the victor, the victom sold out
    With a terror of regret in his eyes
    You could be the cool house with the items we've sold
    We have a sale that'll leave you undead
    So many deals you'll have to sell your soul
    Just to get these costumes out o' your head
    It's just so relaxing to see it on Halloween
    All the True Blood Americans Beware
    Because they're actually taxing your very dreams
    And the American Dream's a nightmare
    And with that a happy Halloween to your souls
    I hope you gorge out until you get sick
    Because I never get any treats in those bowls
    The darn things are filled up with tricks
