Children shout "Trick or Treat!",
Bags outstretched for something sweet.
Mounds of candy for them to eat,
and parents to sneak once they're asleep.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Oh my gosh this is so cute!! A wonderful rhyming scheme, too. ( I wanted to say this was so sweet but River beat me to it xD )
This is so sweet if you pardon the pun. I love a jaunty little rhyme. Nice!
