Little Monsters
by
Nicholas Ozment

 

On Halloween, the little things
With monstrous heads and strange cravings
Emerge with laughter from their lair
To wreak their havoc everywhere.

Holy water has no effect,
Except to get the devils wet.
They can't be sprayed, cast out or shot;
You have to give them what they want.

Sate their hunger until they're through,
Or you don't know what they might do.
And here's the bad part of the curse:
All that sugar just makes them worse!
