L Milton Hankins Poet Couplet

The Haunted House

Last night my friend visited a haunted house
Not brave enough to join him, I felt like a louse,

I stayed home and watched a funny comedy
While fleeing a goblin, he sprained his knee.

I ate snacks, drank sodas, and gained a pound
He said zombies and ghosts were all around,

He made his way through man-eating plants
Had I been there, I would have sh*t my pants!

I told him I would’ve died from a heart attack,
He tried to take pictures, but it was pitch black,

I did not care to see puddles of oozing slime
I told him I’d look at his pictures another time.

Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2022 at 12:30 AM It is hilarious that he was so gung-ho and now he is limping; serves him right, going when he could have "stayed home and gained a pound". L Milton Hankins October 17, 2022 at 8:05 AM (chuckling) Oh, well, he said it was loads of fun! I don't get it.
