Missing the Memo

The Home Goods store was filled

With tons of stuff for Halloween.

October’s weeks away, but it’s 

The most I’ve ever seen.


There were glasses and ceramics,

Decked in orange and in black,

Painted witches, ghosts and goblins

Meant to give a heart attack.


For the home were lots of pillows,

Shaped like pumpkins, ghouls and bats,

Plus assorted signs and dishes 

And some scary welcome mats.


But what really did surprise me

Were the many queen-sized sheets

With a Halloween design;

I never knew, aside from treats,


That to really feel the spirit,

We should decorate the bed.

Did I miss the memo sending

Such ideas into my head?


Next are turkey sheets for T-Day

And for Veterans, some tanks.

Dear Home Goods, guess for showing me 

The way, I owe you thanks.
