Some After-Halloween Observations

Twas the day after Halloween,

and out on the street

Karen found remnants

of the night’s Trick-or-Treat.

 

(This trash did not make it

into the garbage bins-

but before we get critical,

read ‘Those “Unknown” Sins’)

 

I found wrappers and boxes

run over by cars.

Then what should appear

but whole candy bars!

 

But first, I have news that

we all need to hear:

“Spidey” was Raptured

and yep… we’re still here.

So I offer some wisdom

since we’ll be here next year.

(I hope you enjoy

this Halloween cheer.)

 

1. One person’s trash is another one’s treasure. Or blog inspiration.

 

2. In a random sample of the whole pieces of candy left behind (unwanted), chewy fruit candy beat chocolate by a ratio of 19:4. Stick with chocolate.

 

3. All that glitters isn’t gold- or edible.

 

4. Some things are better left behind.

 

5. Fruit is a much healthier choice, if it is actually eaten.

 

6. Remember how much a smile can brighten someone’s day. Unless you’re a skeleton.

 

7. Smartees are everywhere. It may be best to ignore them sometimes.

 

8. Always look for the gems in every circumstance.

 

(I found two pennies- my symbolic reminders of God’s loving presence.)

9. God is in everything, if we only notice.

 

I hope this Nerdy blog writer made you Snicker today!
