A Halloween Fable

There was this fellow who went to a party with his girl and her face as his costume.

It turned out to be a grand scene, a true spectacle!

No doubt in anyone's mind, he was a most clever guy. His costume boasted every prerequisite. It recognized creativity, imagination, camp execution, plus an aspect of the horrible.

This man with his girl and her face were clearly extreme.

Yet still, only the fellow became disgruntled when they both were awarded first prizes.

MORAL: Trick is never beat by treat.
