With chocolate-fudge banana splits

And looked superb in her nightgown
But to her surprise

Springing out as a tattooed clown

The gymnast taking trash out back
As a joke gave the girl no slack

When ghosts and ghouls do rule
With spirits  free from school
And every face is green

Where the dead tend to go
Which gave them much more of a fright!

Turning them into smacked
