"NIGHT FRIGHTS"

Blood Drip

I knew it was Halloween, but figured what the heck,
go through the cemetary to get home, wasn't a long trek...
So I went right through the creaky main gate,
soon as I did I had the impression it was too late...
Cemetary

Well I didn't know it, that is, what I was getting into,
until scary things started to happen, holy phew…
I heard this noise, sounded like something very angry,
what was it I wondered, was something going to abuse me...
RIP

A bolt of lighting, and some scary cackling laughter,
there was a ghoul person looking like an aggressor…
I didn't want to agitate him, so backed away did I,
didn't do any good though, he caught me with his eye...

So I turned tail and ran, later they said I was pure white,
I was really scared, had a whole lot of trembling fright...
And as I was running, fast as I could down that curvy path,
out jumped a skeleton, with its entire terrible wrath...

A ghoul, a skeleton, wow I thought, what's next,
I shouldn't have asked, because next was the best...
Evil red eyes were looking through the dark at me,
it was coming from over there, behind another tree…
Creature

It gurgled and said "A'rrrrrgggg", and other bad things,
I said, "Wow Bill, this is not good, just too many beings"…
My teeth were chattering, like I was into an earth quake,
hoping that that gurgling thing only had a bellyache...

Never found out what it might be, because I left in posthaste,
before that whatever thing it was wanted me to taste…
I took off from that cemetary, yelling “yahooo, come on feet,
help me get out of here, just once make me an athlete"…

So I learned one lesson, if you must walk through the park,
don't go there when it's Halloween, midnight, and dark...

Because all of those creatures, they have pretty big appetites,
and there is one thing for sure, they will certainly give you
night frights…

Enjoyed!

Janette - thanks for coming by for a Holloween read. I may have the graphics solved, about time I may add. Once I figured it out it's not really too hard to do. Of course I'm still in the learning stage but....

steavenr - bag of blood-curdling popcorn coming up, a soda pop with that, or a cold one. Watch out for midnight in the dark...

Nancy - nice to see you again. Yep, bad dreams coming up, hehehe... For you my dear, the best of dreams...
