The Trick in The Treat
Corine Timmer
99 words
Once upon a time,
there was a bully
named Billy.
So wicked was he
that his sister brewed
a monstrous plan.
Before All Hallows´ Eve
in the shadowy shed,
she created special corn candy
Using
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons powdered milk
A sprinkle of salt
4 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup corn syrup
6 rodent hairs
A pinch of crushed bones
Dried chili pepper, for the orange
Turmeric powder, for the yellow
And
Lac bug resin, for the glaze
At owl-light,
she delivered a tombstone with treats
to each accomplice
and smiled at the thought
of her brother´s face.
