Who says all that candy

Isn't good for children?

Terrible. We know.

Please help us out - enter Floridian's First (But Probably Not Annual, We'll Let You Know Next Year) Halloween Poetry Contest.

To enter, send us a poem - no longer than four lines - on a Halloween theme. The poems should rhyme, more or less. They should be clever.
