It's all Gone

Five kids knocked on the door Halloween night.

The lady of the house had just set up a ton of candy.

She answered the door "and who are you she asked"?

One said "I am Prince Charming", the second said "I am Snow white"

Three of them were costumed in one long document and, with curiosity, the lady of the house asked;

"What are you"? They answered in unison.

"We are
The Declaration of Independence -

The Constitution of The United States -

The Bill Of Rights,

we work together".

Just then a BIG RED DOLLAR SIGN

came up

tied to a

BIG RED MINUS.

The Lady of the house asked "

and what are you"?

They answered

"WE ARE CONGRESS AND THE NATIONAL DEBT".

The lady of the house said

"VERY SCARY"

and she dumped the ton of candy into their BIG bag.

She, looking at the first five, then said,

“it's all gone”

She closed the door.

The first five went without,

and cried all the way home.
