A Confluence of Events

This weekend there's a confluence
Of separate events,
Each of which might make a person
Just a bit uptight or tense.

Halloween's the main attraction - 
Better fill those candy banks 
For those seeking treats in costumes
And the tricksters playing pranks.

Then at CitiField, there's baseball - 
A World Series with the Mets.
If they tie it with the Royals,
That's as crazy as it gets.

Next, at two a.m., the clocks change
So we move them back to one;
For the revelers or spirits
There's some extra time for fun.

Last, the Marathon's on Sunday -
Runners gathering en masse,
With the locals out to cheer them,
Shouting praises as they pass.

If we all survive the weekend,
And we will, make no mistake,
Monday morning, dawning brightly,
Will be just a piece of cake!
