Tonight is Halloween, to trick or to treat is the task,
But before you step out, might I just ask,
Are you afraid of the big bad wolf?
.
Well, three little piggies once met this old hick,
And let me tell you- they didn’t think he was slick,
He huffed, and he puffed- that seemed to be his trick,
But even his sneeze couldn’t shatter a brick.
.
Hiding in their house of straw,
the three little piggies had been frightened to the core,
But as the big bad wolf approached they saw
A little speck of pollen enter his maw.
.
At first the wolf huffed
Then he puffed
Then ACHOOO
.
The poor wolf pulled out a hanky and blew,
His eyes took on a pale watery sheen of dew,
The little pigs saw their opportunity and flew,
Saved as the wolf’s hay fever came back anew.
.
So, remember tonight while you wander about,
That while witches and ghouls might be out,
Pollen is everywhere, so take care.
