Betty Boop Ghoul

Betty Boop could not live forever, for naught
But this new version was a bit scary I thought
Her face was green, she had stitches too
I am a ghoul, she informed me, a bit of a boo

Never having met a ghoul before,
I turned and ran outside, straight out the door
She chased me up a hill and back two times
She smelled like lemons, mold, dirt and grimes

I did not stop running until I woke up with a gasp
Relieved that my time with Betty Boop Ghoul was past.
