Tale # 12 -- Ben's Poem

The Skeleton Man

Don't ask me why the skeleton man
keeps following me around!
He's always right behind my back.
He never makes a sound.

I never hear him breathing.
He has no lungs, you see.
He's just a bony bogeyman
who wants to follow me.

I told him he was being rude.
He didn't give a care.
I whirled around and hollered "Boo!"
Guess what? He wasn't there.

My sister says it's no big deal,
and I have to agree.
If he won't look me in the face
he must be scared of me!
