We're kind of old
But still polite!
We visit you
This rainy night.
Although you laugh
At this funny scene,
We wish you happy
Hallowe'en!
Our rhyme is done
So please be sweet:
You're never too old
To trick-or-treat!
Performed door-to-door last year (2009) by Mark and I (alternating lines until the final one, said enthusiastically in chorus) with extraordinarily satisfactory results. It also helped that we went after fewer kids were coming by, probably around 8 PM or so. Alas, I don’t know of any pictures or video I could use to supplement this.

Wow, you’re such a geek. 😉
And proud of it!
Thats class man. I remember the first year I didn’t do T/T… We were at my friend’s house and considering throwing together a costume. My friend, however, is a “go full out or not at all” type, and refused to even attempt a costume when all he really wanted was just the candy. His plan was to just show up on people’s front doors, explain he had no time to put together a costume, but he just wanted the candy anyways. I was too ashamed to go with him, haha.
Aww, you should’ve gone went with the “throw together a costume and go for it” route like we did.
