Halloween Goods

The Home Goods store sells things you need

And many things you don’t.

Some people buy both types of things,

But others simply won’t.

Their Halloween collection

Is immense and so much fun,

With items meant to bring a smile

To almost everyone.

The pumpkin orange bowls and mugs,

The ghosts and bats and brooms

And witches on the pillows

And stuffed toys for all your rooms.

The towels, sheets and candlesticks,

The platters, streamers, flags,

The placemats on display right near

The trick-or-treating bags.

I know folks like to decorate,

But still I find it queer 

To spend so much on things you’ll use

Just one month every year.
