Haunted House

HAUNTED HOUSE     

              In haunted log house lived Micky macro mouse
              with Mini, his spouse and cousin large louse.
              Once I ventured to peep and enter
              as carpenter in severe winter.
             to fix broken latch but Dino tried to catch
              me to snatch my tools and sat on egg to hatch.  
              
            From roof of asbestos crawled down Octopus.
           Swooped vulture valorous, horrifying notorious.                                   
         Eight eyes of black widow sparkled through wide window
         Moon cast ghostly shadow on feral bushes in meadow.  
         Weird witch cunning most sitting with scary ghost
          eating rotten mutton roast and burnt butter toast.
          
            Violent viper always hyper, shedding tears,
           ‘I love you’ to whisper close to my ears. 
           Champion jumper vampire came to inspire
          gifting me a shiny sapphire, me about to expire.
