They were patented today, were ring-pull cans,
At Halloween, when demons hatch their sinful plans,
And when I pull that ring, er...
I’m thinking just one thing, er...
Will I open up the bloody can or just my bloody finger?

Re the etymology of horrid Halloween.
Its dreaded name derives, in fact, from “All Hallows’ Even”
And not, as some allege, from “Oh. Hallo, Ian”.
