Halloween Approaches

Have you reached the peak,
Of your level of competence?
And no one has discovered that.
But something inside you,
Wish it not to be known?

Well...
Don't give up hope.
Halloween approaches.
And just in time.

You can find the right costume,
And blow people's minds.
With the knowledge that the mask,
You have chosen to hide behind...
Will give you the freedom to treat or trick,
Any unsuspecting fool you wish!

And you can keep your lack of competence,
Conveniently hidden...
For at least another year.
No one will ever know the difference.
Unless you forget,
To remove the wrong mask.
