The one who invented trick or treat


Yes, I invented "trick or treat"
So you could fill your mouth with sweets--
Candy bars and lemon drops,
Marshmallows and Tootsie Pops,
Butterscotch and bubble gum.
Hold out your hand--they'll give you some
Chocolate kisses, Jujubes,
Sourballs and jelly beans.
Have a cake--some cookies too.
Take a couple--grab a few
Peppermint sticks and candy canes.
Slurp some soda, munch a pie,
Don't let those M&M's go by,
Chew that toffee, munch those treats,
Get that caramel in your teeth.
Then come see me I'll be here--
I'm your friendly dentist, dear.
