Sipra's Diary: TRICK. OR TREAT.. .. [From my debut> "Eyes Are Notorious"]


Title: " Trick or Treat"

It really happened  once . 

 In the small neighborhood  of Texas.

Richard came to his far-relative grandma

With his New Yorker friend Nicholas 

To give grandma  a treat  of surprise 

By unexpected sudden visit!

 

Reaching near, Richard noticed the house was dark 

But it was lighted up as soon as the door was knocked;!'

Ever  smiling grandma welcomed ,"Why are you so late?"

They asked with mask on their faces,  

"Aren't  you ready to  give us Treat  or Trick? 

 "yes ,sure" with mysterious smile , she replied; 

Following her up to the dining  hall they noticed  with  awe

Arrangement of what a grand party, in this house rarely he saw .

Food, flowers, finest crockery  and a pumpkin for decor!

Just then Richard heard  another door -bell !

He saw neighborhood  uncle Mr. Lockwood , standing  at the door front;

 

"I came curiously to see who has lighted the house?"

 He enquired hesitatingly ,"how do you get the sad news ?

Sadly he conveyed, “Mrs. Swift passed away yesterday evening,

Without any suffering! Just after cremation rituals I am now coming!”

 

Before leaving, he handed over the house-key to bewildered Richard

No sooner, the light went off keeping the house in eerie dark.

 Looking back once again to the dark, Richard came out with Nicholas.

Before locking the door  grandma's pet black cat, 

Darted inside the house, on their faces declaring "Me-own!"
