Pointer's Halloween Fun!!???

Ole Pointer decided to have some Halloween fun after he and Chuggo decided to put the crazy other dawgs outside since the three monsters threatened to dismember every little princess and hobo who came a beggin'. So with sweet Chuggo monitoring the nightly theirtube, Pointer camped out under the front picture window reading his NYk'ER ,old dawg glasses and all. The first victim happily approached the door only to be ambushed by an old sob shouting in his best BX Sarcasm: "What do YOU want?"Stunned by the break in the boring ritual , the poor unsuspecting robot and Barbie froze in their tracks. "Well? What do you want?" The robot hid behind Barbie's flimsy costume as the doll cautiously whispered : "Candy?". Why should i give you candy ? i like candy! Why should i give it away? From behind his glamorous shield R2D2 offered : "Because it's Halloween?" (as if his next line would be -isn't it? almost ready to believe his parents , the candy packed stores and all of his known world might have gotten the date wrong). Halloween ! roared the old fool What's that! At this point the defenseless children seemed to be recalling every stranger danger lesson they every received as they stared in panic at their parental escorts( Not the South Bronx Halloween of my 50's childhood when we tricked much more often than the lame treats proferred by our impoverished neighbors with our parents if we had them far, far away) Fortunately these adults(young enough to be my youngest kids) were enjoying the old dope's prank. H-H-H alloween is when kids get, i mean ask for candy... We already went over that he moaned , Tell me why kids get my candy on this Halloween! By that time a new batch of superheroes , rockstars and vampires were crowding the door. Envigorated by my new audience i begged for an answer. Can any of you please tell me why we celebrate Halloween?! A little chicana genie on the outskirts of the curious yet candy craving throng encroaching the old SOB's doorway spoke up confidently enough to melt even an old Halloween Grinch's heart: it's to celebrate the dead. All fell silent at the mention of all of our greatest fear and fascination... And the old bastard thrilled the confused kiddie crowd of costumed extortionists by his satisfied exclamation. Now that's something to celebrate! Candy for everybody! And the overflowing basket of his most coveted candies were thrown out on that porch as Frankenstein,Batgirl and a panoply of elves and goblins dove as if a birthday pinata had burst in their midst. And above the din of the night's sweetest wrestling could be heard the ancient's cry: Happy Halloween to all and to all a goodnight!
