"Now take a quick break
And wait for me here on the floor!"
They understood what he was saying
Errch said not a word more

We wanted to run
But had dizzy heads
We felt like we were going
To pee in the bed

And with a leap, a twist
And somersault flip
The spook sat beside us
Under the covers he slipped

We did not want to look
At this being of the waking dead
But we knew we must be brave
To overcome this feeling of dread

So we sat up, took a deep breath
And let it all out
Held back the tears
And the wanting to pout

A box of tissue with the label Booger Blankets.
