skeletons are taking selfies

in front of the haunted house were two brazen skeletons rare
One was holding a cell phone high up in the October air
They were grinning like two idiots who take selfies all the time
Where did they get that phone? I asked my cousin Mime.

Mime was not sure, but she thought it was hilarious and fun.
She asked to be in their selfie, and they let her join them in one.
Send it to me, she told them, but refused to give her number out.
You are really something, I told her. As they proceeded to pout.
