My favorite costume
I love to dress up in it
But just for one day
I wanted candy
I begged everywhere
Now it is a feast
I was just a boy
Back when October sang to me
Those days are long gone
It used to be fun
I used to be able to play
Now it just flies by
Tenth month 31st
Used to be a magic day
Now I have to work
It’s now November
I didn’t even notice Halloween
Fun days left behind
But I just can’t help
Looking all around and thinking
Screw this goddamn job
I’m too tired, I quit
I will not let Halloween pass
I will have fun again
Halloween is the day
Even if it’s just for a day
The adulthood slips away
One response to ““Fun Days Left Behind” Halloween-Themed Haikus”
Ain’t no holiday
If I don’t get leave with pay
Rent ain’t paid with sweets.
