Trick or . . . 


With witches and goblins and ghosts about

I open my door to the chorused shout

Shell out! Shell out! Shell out!


I see tramp and a princess, a pirate a nurse,

a witch and a monster, now what could be worse

Their bags all opened, I empty my purse


I told the police that none was a kid

That under those costumes some evil had hid

And asked him to come in and see what they did


The bathtub was full and sealed with a stopper

He was bashed on the head, crushing his topper

And laughter ensued when they drowned the copper.
