Don’t Be a Halloween Scrooge

You decide not to pass out candy this year but forget to turn off your porch light.

When you forget to turn off your porch light, trick-or-treaters keep ringing your doorbell.

When the incessant ringing interrupts your annual viewing of A Nightmare on Elm Street, you get angry.

When you get angry, you jerk open the door and shout at a pint-sized zombie.

Her werewolf Dad growls, “Hey buddy, pick on someone your own size,” and throws a furry jab.

Don’t be the cheapskate with the broken nose.

Just pass out the bloody candy.
