when I went shopping today.
I went looking for costumes
but found Christmas displays.
I combed the aisles
for ghosts and ghouls,
instead all I found
were Christmas jewels.
I searched for pumpkins,
but found lighted trees,
festive ornaments
instead of bulk candy.
What month is it -
October, right?
Then why is Santa
giving me a fright?
Stores seem confused
by the calendar dates.
If you're buying for Halloween,
it's already too late.
