can we sing a small song
we have to be quiet, we are not supposed to be here!
This was said in a whisper by their ghost friend Jeer.
It’s an old folk’s home, only old live people should be….
Anywhere near this park, he said specifically to me.
Can we sing a small song? I asked as quietly as I could.
As long as it does not go any further than this wood.
But I sing loud and hard, with gusto, so they all heard.
Come on! Said Count Dracula! You sing loud as a bird!
She’s not doing her best to be subtle, said the witch.
She ran off to get hold of a hickory switch.
If she gets too loud, give her whack across her back.
I was none to happy when I felt the very first smack.
