Halloween Shamed

"So, you're too fancy for Halloween now?"
"Says who?"
"The entire neighborhood. We took a vote."
"Save your vote for the mid-terms."
"Don't change the subject."
"What do you want from me?"
"We want you to join in the spirit. Are you willing?"
"I dunno. Maybe."
"Come on, just throw us a bone."
"I don't do skeletons."
"How about a pumpkin?"
"I was going to get one tomorrow."
"Only one?"
"Fine, I'll get two."
"Carved."
"A plain pumpkin doesn't cut it?"
"No."
"Okay, okay. Are we done here?"
"Not yet. This year, we'd like to see some cobwebs."
"Forget it."
"A tombstone."
"Too morbid."
"A bloody hand sticking out of the dirt."
"Will a mailbox work?"
"I'll run it by the committee and get back to you."
