Halloween Commentary
by Miki SaxonIt’s Halloween 2011
when sugar highs will reach to heaven.
Extravagant costumes and parties galore,
even with an eviction notice on the front door.
Spending is up, forget the economy,
a billion for costumes and more for gastronomy.
Some costumes are sexy, some are just fun;
some are so scary you’ll just want to run.
But how ever you dress and whatever you do,
be sure it is fun and leaves a happier you!
This is not one of my better efforts; here is a sampling of previous and much better Halloween fare.
Halloween Success Story
There was a student named Delf
who had a high opinion of self

the economy is really hairy;
your savings trashed, your mortgage iffy
and it can’t be fixed in a NY jiffy.

A Halloween economy
Bats and witches and pumpkins, oh my,
bailouts and options and fat cats who sigh;
a Treasury Secretary deep in the fold
and stock that reeks like decades old mold.
For Halloween you want a costume that scares, (more…)
I hope you have a howling good time!
