The sky was dark and dreary, My legs were weak and weary, I was far from home that night, I fear was lost, my sorry plight. Then up ahead I spied a farm, Its warmth would save me from cold's harm, Into the barn with stealth I crept, Far worse places the night I've slept. I went to sleep in cattle's manger, Was unaware, impending danger, By loud banging, I was awoke, And then I saw, near had a stroke. From out the loft, a coffin loomed, I knew right then, my life was doomed. As coffin banged across the floor, I feared that soon, would be no more. I was so scared, out of my mind, When in my pocket I did find, A mentholyptus Luden's drop, Popped in my mouth to coffin stop. |

Wicked Witch of the East I thought you were leading up to a dreary demise, but you were only coffin; boy was I surprised. Good one. I liked it very much. Caught totally off guard with the ending. Garfield |

Wicked Witch, I guess all good horror stories have a twist, I just wasn't expecting to be laughing at the end. Loved it. Dee |
