Skeleton Man

he looked really creepy so we stayed away
then he started following us said little Kay
was it a stranger? asked her grandma Nan
Worse, it was a villain, a skeleton man

Where did you go? What did you do?
We took out our cellphone and called uncle Lew
What did Lew do? What did Lew do?
Litte Kay was speechless, mindless; now she had no clue

I guess you escaped, Grandma Nan prodded her granddaughter
But Little Kay was so frightened, she had to have water
The skeleton man had not scared little Kay so.
Now she was sorry she had told this tale of woe.
