‘Twas the night before school starts, And all through the city, Parents were filled with joy. They were downright giddy. Children huddled in beds, Many shed a tear.

Sticky Feet

I wish I had sticky feet. I’d walk right up a wall. Or better yet, a building, One that’s really tall. I’d stop at every window To chat or say hello.

My Zombie Week

There’s not so much spring in my step As there used to be before. I’ll sometimes answer the window When people knock at the door. Humans seem to avoid me now. Cats and dogs run away. An old lady screamed and fainted When she saw me yesterday. Dad had warned me before To control my curiosity. When I heard about a spooky house, That was something I just had to…
