Ghost Toasties

 


The Ghosts and Ghouls

will get you,

if you let them,

but they’ll probably

get you anyway.

 

They can go through walls,

and find you in any

little nook or cranny

in which you try to hide.

They’re clever that way.

 

They “Boo” and “Hiss”,

and twist your stomach

into knots, they jump

out at you around corners,

and turn a smile into a frown.

 

The scratching noise on the walls,

deep into the night, isn’t

that tree branch that’s just a

little to long. It’s them.

The Ghouls, digging after you.

 

The Ghosts, moaning, rattling

their chains, as they stalk you

across every creaking floor board

and tired house joist.

Keeping you from finding sleep.

 

They want you to know,

that they know what scares you,

and they will churn your nightmares

into butter that they can spread on their

dark breakfast bagel.

 

Which you can order at any IHop

I think. Although it comes with cream

cheese rather than nightmare butter,

but still, it’s chilling.

So satisfying, it’s spooky.

 

Is anything scarier than

advertising?

I’m startled to say the least.
