skipping Halloween

i skipped Halloween this year
i didn't carve a pumpkin
i didn't send out cards from dogs
and that is saying somethin'

i really didn't decorate
i didn't buy the treats
i didn't hand the candy out
i stayed right in my seat

some folks will be surprised
at the reason why -
i was tired of being perfect
so i let it pass me by
