''Monsters and Politicians" (Who needs them)?

By my calculations, three weeks from today the streets and sidewalks will be filled with "hideous" monsters, such as "vampires", "werewolves", "ghosts", "goblins", and "Liberal Democrat's" in a last-ditch effort to obtain your vote by Tuesday! Ha Ha! Just joking! Nobody dresses up as a "Goblin" anymore, and most of us are unsure of what a goblin actually is anyway! Personally, I enjoy seeing the little kids dressed up in their various costumes, ranging in everything from small woodland creatures to princesses, super-heroes, and bog monsters, even though they sometimes come to the door in this exact group, expecting you to be afraid of the bog monster, even though "Superman" is standing right next to him, giving you a feeling of security from the start. (Not to mention that the "Princess" doesn't seem to be too unnerved by the fact that she is bidding for candy beside a "Bog monster", even if superman is absent)! Still, as a responsible adult, it's your "civic-duty" to react to each youngsters costume accordingly, being scared of the scary ones, thankful for the super heroes, and in awe of the beauty of the princess! Halloween is a fun time for kids, teaching them not only how to "act" the part of their chosen character, but also how to present yourself as something you're really not (such as a "humor writer", or a"dedicated politician") and still receive rewards for it. Halloween should also be a fun time for adults, giving you a chance, as a respected adult, to act like a fool trying to scare the kids that are trying to scare you. I would also hope that you don't go "cheap" on the treats for these youngsters, feeding them such silly things as "sweet tarts", "Jolly ranchers", and miniature "Snickers" candy bars! Remember, these kids are putting their whole "heart and soul" into this performance for you, and you should reward them greatly, with such home-made items as "caramel apples" and "popcorn balls"! These are great treats! My first wife gave me "popcorn balls" eighteen years ago during our divorce, and I still have them today! (the "cauliflower" ear came from boxing, but I saved it as well)! Overall, the message that I'm trying to portray here is that we "older" folks all had the chance to have our fun on Halloween, and we should give young people the chance to do the same. Also, the "monsters" that you give candy to on Halloween, are nowhere near as scary as the monsters that will appear two days later on your voting ballot. Keep the porch light on for the innocent kid's my friend's, and please pass out huge amounts of treats on October 31st, rather than two days later, on November 2nd! Rewards should be given only for accomplishments, not promises! Happy Halloween, friends! And now, a word from my grandson Trenton, who is constantly attempting to help me type this story! ttrewqlkuyttbfpldow0owq;H VJFUYI9IIJHGGFEbnbnbnnnnnnmhgd
