The Adventures of Bobo and Coco

Bobo and Coco were playing in the park but had to hurry home before it got dark deciding to take a shortcut through the cemetery when they ran into a man called Harry he stopped them both "dead" in their tracks with his evil stare and constant lip smacks well my young strapping lads, said he "what's your hurry, do you have to pee"? at the same time they both said "no sir" "we're in a hurry to go eat supper" you boys must be twins, the man said "everything's the same down to the pointy head" The boys nervously nodded to affirm his questions causing both to squirm Children, oh children, are you afraid of me I taint' afraid of nuttin said Bobo quickly while Coco lowered his head silently causing the man to point wickedly And what of you young man if he can speak, surely you can Coco said loudly, "surely I'm not afraid of thee" fear not my father hath taught me the man laughed with a thunderous roar pausing shortly and then laughed some more Well now, you tell your daddy you met Harry tell him that Harry looked really scary but you weren't afraid at all looked me in the eyes and stood tall that's how a man should always be and tell him my last name was Houdini Poof, he disappeared into thin air causing the boys to hightail it out of there but as they were leaving at a rapid pace they saw the headstone with Harry's face....... Houdini, Harry, 1874-1926
