Tonight is Halloween, to trick or to treat is the task,

But before you step out, might I just ask,

Are you afraid of the big bad wolf?

.

Well, three little piggies once met this old hick,

And let me tell you- they didn’t think he was slick,

He huffed, and he puffed- that seemed to be his trick,

But even his sneeze couldn’t shatter a brick.

.

Hiding in their house of straw,

the three little piggies had been frightened to the core,

But as the big bad wolf approached they saw

A little speck of pollen enter his maw.

.

At first the wolf huffed

Then he puffed

Then ACHOOO

.

The poor wolf pulled out a hanky and blew,

His eyes took on a pale watery sheen of dew,

The little pigs saw their opportunity and flew,

Saved as the wolf’s hay fever came back anew.

.

So, remember tonight while you wander about,

That while witches and ghouls might be out,

Pollen is everywhere, so take care.
