TRICK OR TREAT RHYME
TRICK OR TREAT.
SMELL MY FEET.
I LIVE ON MILL STREET.
Submitter comment:
THIS IS USED BY TRICK OR TREATERS ON HALLOWEEN IN ORDER TO COLLECT
CANDY AND OTHER GIFTS. THE NAME OF THE STREET IN THE THIRD LINE IS
NOT ALWAYS MILL BUT RATHER THE STREET THE PERSON LIVES ON. THIS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE A CLUE TO THEIR IDENTITY.

ON HALLOWEEN THERE WAS A LITTLE POEM WE WOULD ALL
CHANT OR SAY AT PARTIES OR WHILE OUT TRICK OR
TREATING. IT WENT LIKE THIS:
THE WORMS CRAWL IN.
THE WORMS CRAWL OUT.
IN YOUR STOMACH
AND OUT YOUR MOUTH,
AND IF YOU SEE A HEARSE GO BY,
THEN YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
