the halloween candy is all gone
the shelves are bare
the last minute shoppers
kick themselves for not
buying in it sooner
the holiday section will be
christmas themed by tomorrow
tonight kids and teenagers roam
the neighborhood streets
in-search of king-sized candy
wearing costumes many
adults do not understand
for the children television
references have evolved
since the last time
they had small
children in their lives
a sign time is moving forward
as the chill of mid-fall
falls on the evening,
soon the clocks will change
once more making it dark
even earlier than before
though all of the halloween
candy will be gone by then
consumed by the children
quicker than the parents
would have liked
