    A Good Scary Poem Needs . . .
    A haunted house,
    a pattering mouse.
    A spooky feeling,
    a spider-webbed ceiling.
    A squeaking door,
    a creaking floor.
    A swooping bat,
    the eyes of a cat.
    A dreadful dream,
    a distant scream.
    A ghost that goes 'BOO'
    and You!
