Spring Loaded: A Message from the Editor top of page | cover page

Welcome to the October issue of Pezhead Monthly. A busy September and October unfortunately left precious little time to put towards the newsletter. But there's still a few Pez poems and the Pez Almost-Quote in this issue, so dig in and enjoy this "fun size" issue. You might also enjoy the special Halloween page filled with some special stuff from the Pezhead Monthly archives.

Take care and see you in November for a return to the full-issue format.

Pez Haiku #58

The change of seasons:
New weather, new TV shows,
And, I hope, new Pez.

Thomas

There once was a Pezhead named Thomas.
A good little boy, this I promise.
But when trick or treating,
He was self-defeating,
For his costume was just his pajamas.

Bucket

Turn the bucket upside down,
Pour that candy all around.
What sweet treasures will be found
In that sugary pile?

Tootsie Rolls? Oh yes, perhaps,
Maybe, too, some Bottle Caps.
Finger through the candy wraps,
Oh this might take a while.

It's been a long and fruitful night,
Dressing up to scare and fright.
Chocolate brings such delight,
But something else is more worthwhile.

So shake that bucket, one last spout,
The very last thing thing won't come out,
Just have a look, inside, about:
Is that some Pez? Indeed, a smile.

"Of all the Pez aisles in all the candy stores in all the world, she had to walk into mine."
