Jims Revenge

Within the cemetery they'd wait
For him to walk fast past the gate.
They knew he had an inward fear
This cemetery was haunted here.

A joke his friends would play on Jim
Would hide away unseen by him.
So, when he hurried past they'd yell
Jump up and cry "You'll go to hell."

But, Jim got wind of their fun prank
Crouched in a big white sheet he shrank.
Ran up behind them, yelled out "Boo"
A mess they left! I'm telling you.
